Many online libraries of books are now on the internet. These are mostly out of copyright books that have had their pages scanned or have been converted to electronic text formats that will allow word searches, computer readers, and smaller file size.

My favorite is Project Gutenberg - http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1  It is probably the largest collection of online books available. I am not bringing you in on the homepage, but rather bringing you in on the downloadable adio books page. This particular page has a good quantity of books that are read by human readers. If you look in the top section you will see the link to many more audio books that are recordings of computer read books. In the text section of the library are hundreds of thousands of books in dozens of languages. Every one of these resources are free. You can read them online, print them off, or download them to read or listen too. The search engine is very much like online card catalogues for libraries. You can search by author, title, or subject.
