Lets start an ebook library....

For finding e-versions of Chinese books, I often put the first line of the book, in quotation marks, into a search engine. That usually comes up with an on-line version of the novel. One problem is that it may be in 100 separate parts, so you have to copy, paste, copy past half the evening...

A collection of decent modern literature in .txt or .doc would be worth having, and would only leave one person doing the cutting and pasting.

Ok I tried to upload a few files in txt format or doc format but a couple of them are over the limit... is there any way to increase the upload limit (or should I just zip them?) and how would I upload it within the post instead of an attachment... eg title - xxx, format - xxx, [then the file]

I've gotten several things from this site.

You could just read it on-site, and copy/paste as you go...I mean, if you end up finishing the book, you'll have the compiled document to refer to, and if you don't, you won't have wasted much time.

They have 王小波's 黄金时代 in Chinese and Chinese-English with optional pinyin annotation, plus one of his essays. I'm not sure about any copyright issues, though.
