There is an experimental online reader available. Start from any bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file where the encoding is known.
We have been invited to peruse the various eBook collections of the Internet Archive for potential Project Gutenberg eBooks.
Don't worry, many of the numbers listed are out of date, but you should get all the files when you pass through to the original sites.
Click on "texts" to get started, feel free to pick up any of the eBooks you would like to work on.
Many Thanks To Brewster Kahle and the Internet Archive!
