I am not sure, if searching those ebooks would come against the laws of TDF of piracy!
So I am getting clear from it.
Try searching through following keywords, in Google:

Yeah.. Bullzip printer, can be used to make its pdf, but I would have liked if I got the PDF version from the site only, since it would feel like I am reading a book, with proper indentations, and pictures and all... :(

But still, I have no complaints... :-D
Since I found H.G. Wells's Books! :shock:

Before I began, I havn't read any of the novels in the list. So I can't comment what would be the best for children. But based on Author's and some reading from Wikipedia, I can suggest the novels from Alexandre Dumas and Sherlok Holmes would be best suited for them.

Apart from it, I have rearranged the list in the order in which I would like to read them, (if I ever get the time to do so!).

The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
The Adventure of the Norwood Builder - Sherlock Holmes
The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins
The Secret Agent - Joseph Conrad
The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens (not in the list, but it was preceeded from Oliver Twist, thats why)
Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
Nicholas Nickleby - Charles Dickens
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
Emma - Jane Austen

Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg - free ebooks online download for iPad, Kindle, Nook, Android, iPhone, iPod Touch, Sony Reader is a great site if you wish to find free content which is outside of intellectual property and patent laws. These include almost all works published before 1921.
