Yes, you can,... but only the free ones. Check out GoogleBooks. Most of the out-of-copyright volumes are made available to the public, at no cost. One con to these 'free' ebooks, however, is that they are created with the use of OCR, and -- from what I've seen -- nobody, but nobody, does any proof-reading. That is why I still prefer to download their volumes as PDF-files. That also presents problems, and some of these readers cannot handle the PDF-format properly.

I would guess you still have to pay for a subscription to some sort of internet service, just to be able to facilitate the downloads, regardless of whether the ebooks are free, or not.
