Free E-Book source for Nexus 7 ?
Discussion
Project Gutenberg ("the first producer of free ebooks") has been around for a few years now.
I know this is a bit old fashioned, but have you considered your library?
You're in Staffs, yes? Their e-book faqs Staffs link
Certainly Worcester's service works very well and supports the Nexus 7 on Adobe Digital Editions.
Staffs recommend Aldiko
Not sure if Staffs is the same, but now we have The Hive, combined Public and uni facilities, thus I also get access to the university catalogue. Slightly different lending rules but even so, very handy.
As little as 6 months ago the e reader catalogue in my favourite public section was very sparse, a list only 6 pages / screens long, it's now23 edit 26 pages and more arriving every day.

I didn't say before as I am feel I'm becoming a bit of a bore about it.Since buying my Kobo all the books I read now come from Suffolk library. You can borrow three books (ePub format) at a time, reserve up to three as well. They also have a range of audiobooks as well.
Agreed, I held off getting an e-reader for a long time due to two issues.
I didn't want a Kindle and of the rest, the best imho, the Nook was not yet available in UK. If I'd had to go the the USA then would probably have bought one before now but chance said I was stationed in Europe.
Second reason was the poor choice in public library catalogue, which as said above is improving by the day.
Worcs allows you to check out 6 epub, for up to 21 days, returned automatically on time, though, of course, one can return it early. Don't know how many reservations one can hold.
I've certainly discovered some new authors since I got my Nook, and instead of the stack of books I now only have one out, by Christpher Booker which isn't available in the e-catalogue yet.
