Michael Hart (see photo on your left) began creating electronic versions of public domain documents way back in 1971. That was the beginning of Project Gutenberg, an archive of 32,000 books that can now be read online or from portable electronic readers.
Every one of the books availble through Project Gutenberg was previously published on paper by bona fide publishers and digitized by them with the help of thousands of volunteers.
And, like a good library, Project Gutenberg has made all of its books easily searchable.
