Where can I read books online?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Annelisle, you have compiled a great list. I'm going to bookmark this page for future reference.
Personally I pretty much stick to google boooks for research like you say.
I came across this site recently: http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/
cool thing is they have free audio books(have not listened yet)
and I like the interface, easy to navigate, but it's short on content.
Another interesting site is this:
http://librivox.org/
Extensive collection of free audio books read by volunteers; the goal is to record every book in the public domain.
- its like a crowd sourced audible.com for PD
