Practical guide
Free does not automatically mean legal everywhere.
Public-domain status varies by country and by edition. Check the item notice and your local law before downloading or redistributing; OpenShelf links to libraries but does not host book files.
Prefer transparent libraries
Use services that explain why an item is available and publish their terms. Avoid pages that hide the file behind notification prompts or unrelated installers.
Match format to attention
EPUB is usually flexible on e-readers, while HTML works well for a quick sample. The best format is the one you can open comfortably and finish.
