Wowio
Wowio is a website that offers free e-books supported by ads. It also awards scholarships on a random basis to students using the site. I've already found a couple books I was about to go read at the NY Public Library.
The WOWIO site design is a little cumbersome, but that's a problem that will no doubt be overcome with time. The bigger issue is why universities aren't doing this themselves. Seems to me it's a much more viable model than charging bookstore prices for a PDF.
