#4 Librivox.org

Librivox is a website that offers a free collection of Public Domain Audiobooks.

Simply click on their 'catalog' and find hundreds of audio books, ready to be downloaded, which can also be filtered either by Author, Title, Genre, or Language. A little word of caution here: although these audio books are claimed to be in the Public domain, they are so in U.S.A. please verify the copyright status of these works in your own country before downloading, otherwise you may be violating copyright laws.

This is not an ebook download site per se but it has a curated list of information about books that are in the public domain. Now people who are into re-publishing public domain books with either an annotation, or illustration, or translation into Amazon's KDP will find this TREASURE a HUGE help. This has books categorized into various shelves with some even tagged as 'before 1923', as you can see here on the screen.

Captioned as 'a free library that anyone can improve', it's another free source for people who are looking to publish public domain books into KDP as almost all the books given here are cited with their publishing year, and many can be found that are published in the 19th century.
