Free Tech Books-Free Computer Science and Programming Books on the Web

Yep, no kidding - you can get free tech books on the Web. From the FreeTechBooks.com site:

"This site lists free online computer science and engineering books (+lecture notes), all of which are freely and legally available over the Internet."

"All the books listed here are available for free, as they are hosted on websites that belong to the authors or the publishers. Note that every author or publisher has their own terms and conditions, but generally you are most welcome to view, download and print the books for your own private use at no charge. "

You can search for free tech books by category, by search query, or subscribe to search strings via RSS.
