Google offers free book downloads

Google is offering public domain books for free download in PDF form. It seems a bit harder to find the free books, as it is only the ones that are not under license, which most books are. I hope they add a feature so you can just search for free books, or a even long list of them would be helpful. Google’s PDF download feature is similar to Project Gutenburg, which is a large collection of public doman works that also allows book downloads from many authors. Project Gutenburg is a much more extensive resource for e-books, however, it is nice that Google has provided this feature in their book search service.
