The below are all legit sources of free books that are above board.

For publishers offering free digital versions you have the following:

Tor has a free book of the month club for sci-fi & Fantasy.

Subterranean Press says they are doing something similar

Baen's Free Library

Others specialize in cleaning up and offering improved copies of public domain books:

Standard Ebooks Open Culture Faded Page Alice and Books
