I have often renamed the original file. Sometimes the author's name is before the title and sometimes after.
If anyone is interested in tracking down the source of any of these free e-books, just let me know and I'll try to remember.

Bill,
Interesting list!
I notice there's no Cory Doctorow on it. I suggest giving either Little Brother or Makers a read (after which you'll probably want all of his stuff). All of Doctorow's books are available as free downloads at craphound.com.
Thanks for having a look at my list, Thomas (or Tom; can't remember which you prefer), and helping me round it out a bit.
I don't recall hearing of Cory or these books before. I just put them on my reader and read a bit of the intro to "Little Brother".
My reading list has been rather light on fiction for a long time. Recently I've read "Alongside Night" and "Publicani".
A few years back, when my libertarian leanings were much less strong than today, I read "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross and most of "Atlas Shrugged."
Bill,
I'm happy to have a look at your list ... because it will help me build mine!
I don't have a dedicated e-reader device (I use Stanza on my Mac desktop), but expect I'll eventually get one.
I am jonesing for an iPad, but I'm not the kind of guy who spends $500 on a convenience device. Fortunately, I expect that the existence of the iPad will drive the price of Kindle and other similar devices waaaaaay down, possibly even into my range.
For basic, linear reading, my wife and I have been pretty happy with the Sony PRS-300. We got ours for $200 (plus sales tax) at Target and Wal-mart. Looks like they're around $170 from Amazon third party sellers now.
For that price, you copy books from a host computer via USB cable. You can jump direct to a particular page, but no provision to copy/paste text into some other application, nor to search for a string.
There is no expansion slot, but I've got about 250 books of various sizes on mine and still have about 258 of 443 megabytes internal memory free.
The books on mine range from 8K to 9M, with a median size of about 370K.
Since I only use mine for free PDF & EPUB format books, and have no need for DRM support, I dispense completely with any sort of client on the host computer and just copy books direct to the "/database/media/books" folder on the Sony.
