The best place to look for public domain ebooks to produce is Project Gutenberg. If downloading from Gutenberg, be careful of the following:
There may be different versions of the same publication on Gutenberg, and the best one might not be the one with the most downloads. In particular, there could be a better translation that has fewer downloads because it was produced later, or there could be a version with better HTML markup. A great example of this phenomenon is the Gutenberg version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas. The most-Vdownloaded version is an old translation widely criticized as being slapdash and inaccurate. The less popular version is a fresh, modern translation dedicated to the public domain.

Gutenberg usually offers both an HTML version and an epub version of the same ebook. Note that one is not always exactly the same as the other! A casual reader might assume that the HTML version is generated from the epub version, or the other way around; but for some reason the HTML and epub versions often differ in important ways, with the HTML version typically using fewer useless CSS classes, and including <em>
tags that the epub version is often missing.
