Hi Sankar, You could go to http://www.gutenberg.org/cdproject/ to download an ISO of CDs or DVDs with selected ebooks.
AFAIK, there is a program called gutenmark which renders the text files on PG to HTML. Haven't ever tried them out, if you do, I would like to know your experience! I usually use a text editor to do some find/replace, using regex ... and convert an ebook from text to html. Its time consuming but, I have been doing that on windoze, now that I have linux on my laptop, I plan to write & try out some scripts with awk for the text to HTML conversions. Do keep me informed if you find that there's already something out there in the wild.
