and what i mean by good is really public domain, good quality, good search engine. i did a search and looked at twelve places and the best one i found is good if your really into math. so, rather than wander around some more, i decided to find out if anyone here had already done that.

You could try www.netlibrary.com (http://www.netlibrary.com/).

You might find some Sci-Fi at Aphelion (http://www.aphelion-webzine.com/index2.htm)

One thing though - you will almost never find an Online library that has authors that have published books; they don't usually grant license to the Online libraries.

For older 'classics' try the Gutenburg Project. You can download these free.

dogscoff, or his evil twin, read it and thought it was funny. for an evil twin, though, he was a nice guy. he gave me a healing potion.

If you don't mind paying, Fictionwise (http://www.fictionwise.com) is really good.

For free stuff, Infinity Plus (http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/) is good.

And of course, I can't resist plugging my own Online published story from time to time:
