As defined on their website, "The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) is the Federal Government’s official, digital, secure resource for producing, procuring, cataloging, indexing, authenticating, disseminating, and preserving the official information products of the U.S. Government." As part of this initiative, there are a number of e-book titles that are available for download in 3 different formats: pdf, epub and mobi.

PDF Creator

In an effort to minimize printing and cut down on fileable materials, I've recently taken to using PDFCreator which can be downloaded from sourceforge.net for free.  An open source software,  the user is able to select PDFCreator from the valid printer list on your computer once installed.   Once selected from the drop-down list, a grey box opens up with saving options.  Name your document and hit save, specifying a destination.  A neat function of PDFCreator is that you can combine saving a document and emailing a document in one step using the Email button.   I particularly like this tool for documents that I want to store, but don't necessarily want to print. Give it a try!
