For books and audiobooks:
The Guttenberg project
Libro.fm
I was so happy to learn about Libro.fm randomly. Makes things so much easier to just download and have on my dedicated audio player. No DRM to strip or having to use their player. Only thing that annoys me about them (along with other audiobook services) is that they list books that they can't sell due to DRM. Most of the time if they don't have a book you just don't get a result, but for some reason they will show some books and I get excited to see them. Just to then load the page and see that they currently can't offer it due to DRM. Would much rather not see the search result. Another mildly annoying thing with their search is that searching for books by authors will include other authors and show results for all their books. Both are just annoyances that aren't deal breakers so long as everything else is kept the same.
