It is perfectly legal to download books that are in the public domain. This usually includes older books that the copyright has not been renewed on. These are usually classics such as The Scarlet Letter or A Christmas Carol. There are websites that contain thousands of these books. However, if you start freely downloading newer copyrighted books such as Twilight, Harry Potter, The DaVinci Code, and so on, you can run yourself into some legal problems. Many new books are available in e-book form legally, but they must be purchased from a reputable dealer that has rights to market them. See the related questions below for more on where to find free or purchasable e-books.

It depends on the terms and conditions outlined by the eBook's publisher. Some publishers allow printing for personal use, while others prohibit it to protect their copyright. It is best to check the specific terms of use for the eBook in question.
