There is a huge library of book on mobipocket http://www.mobipocket.com/freebooks/default.aspx , including a lot of Burroughs.

Unfortunately, they are in .mobi format and you have to download the free e-reader. The e-reader is good on PC, Blackberry, and a few other devices. They used to have software that would publish text files to mobi reader files.

P.S. It's been awhile, so I went to Mobi to install the reader on my new PC. It appears that Mobipocket was taken over by Amazon. I read the license agreement before installing and it is the most frightening one I have ever read. I didn't install the software.

P.S.S. I installed FBReader http://www.fbreader.org/
