From a Project Gutenberg Blog Post by Founder Michael Hart:

Project Gutenberg, the granddaddy of all eBook libraries, announced today they have put number 40,000 of internally produced free eBooks online as of March 1st.
This raises their grand total to 100,000, as they receive a number of eBooks from other producers worldwide. These figures even subtract 15,000 for various duplications.
If you have a Kindle, set your browser to: http://bit.ly/gutmagic to partake of these eBooks free of charge.
