Does anyone know any good websites to download/copy and paste short novels? Like for example, I used to have On The Road ( http://www.terebess.hu/english/ontheroad1.html ) on my computer. I've been looking for Hunter S. Thompson's Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. Anything would be good though... can't afford many books since I bought a laptop and the library doesn't have a lot of this stuff :(

Downloadable/iPod-Compatable Audiobooks would be nice too.

Whoops, my mistake.. I thought that you were asking about book websites in general...

try the usenet.

I think it's alt.binaries.mp3.audiobooks.highspeed or something like that. Though some postings there may be illegal, so please do not take that a suggestion to download any content you are not legally entitled to have.
