With all of the new ways to access computers and manipulate text using computers E-Text is a fabulous tool for classrooms. Here are some links to E-Text Options that I have found in my searches for materials:
Just Free Books-JJustFreeBooks is a search engine that searches through most of the e-book libraries that are on-line, including gutenburg and wikibooks. This is a very easy way to find free text on the Internet.
The Free Library by Farlex-Free full text versions of both literary works and periodicals.
Alex Catalogue of Electronic Books- Collection of public domain and open access documents focused on American and English Literature and Western Philosophy.
ALA Great Web Sites for Kids- A large collection of resources for younger kids

You can also get alternate text versions of most books and textbooks through Reading for the Blind and Dyslexic, Bookshare , National Library Service for the Blind for students who are visually impaired or have a physical impairment that prevents them from being able to access print as their non-disabled peers can.
Now of course there are MANY sites that have free e-books, and many others that you can purchase e-books. Since I am a school employee who has to make a limited budget I really really prefer free!
These links are to pure text versions of original works with no adaptations. Adapted Books will be in another post!
