today, i have two sites for you. one is direct download, and the other requires a torrent client (like Transmission or μTorrent — here's a wikipedia link if you don't know about Torrents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients ).
---
the first is bookzz (which upgrades to bookos-z1 when you register); here's the link: http://bookzz.org/
(probably register with your spam-email account, an account with no contacts -- the address that you give out to those you don't trust -- it's what i use my yahoo account for.)
i forget how many daily downloads you're allowed before you register, but after you register you're allowed to download 10 ebooks per day. and the selection is pretty decent. but the good selections are mixed with the bad, in a variety of formats.

[DON'T GO TO THIS SITE -- IT'S BECOME MUCH WORSE THAN IT WAS; SORRY]
the second is a site called Torrent Hound. it's a pop-up-infested site, to be sure, (which means you have to be careful what you click on, and i only use this site through Google Chrome, with Javascript turned off) but still has lots of great stuff.
it's probably best to find things via a backdoor search: here's a link to the site for page 1 of a search on "epub":
http://www.houndmirror.com/search/1/epub
skip the part where it says "Direct Downloads" and only pay attention to the part labeled "Torrent Title". click on the magnet icon and your client will get a magnet link (no torrent file) for the torrent download.
if you want to search for another term, simply substitute it for "epub" in the link.
or you can search for two terms (and so on) with a plus sign. to search for "Elizabeth Berg", use:
http://www.houndmirror.com/search/1/elizabeth+berg
---
and remember, only download ebooks that you have a legal right to possess.
enjoy!
