Project Gutenberg – Gutenberg.org
Project Gutenberg, founded in 1971, is a voluntary effort to digitize books, but also more generally cultural works, which no longer have copyrights (public domain) and their widest possible availability as e-books in a series of open file templates. Project Gutenberg currently has tens of thousands of items in its collection.
Within them, there are dozens of books in Greek, which are available for free download in a number of different kinds of files. Many books are older translations of Ancient Greek authors, interesting and available today only in university libraries. There are also a number of classic New Greek writers.
For example, you can find the always timely and enjoyable "Papissa Ioanna" by Emmanuel Roidis or "My Trip" by Giannis Psycharis. Downloading is free, but you could make a donation to Project Gutenberg to support this volunteer effort.
