Looks like Google is now allowing free downloads of selected books from Google Book Search (beta, of course).

Full versions of books are limited to public domain works (naturally), but classics like Aesop's Fables and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are easy to find. Google Book Search is a lot like Project Gutenberg, but with a few different options, like an online reader and PDF downloads of the books.

Think you'll use Google Book Search rather than Project Gutenberg? Give us your thoughts in the comments or at tips at lifehacker.com.
