Newton devices have the ability to present pre-built, read-only documents called Newton Books that can include text and graphics, have good navigational controls and can be graphically annotated by the reader. It's a sort of Adobe Acrobat for the Newton.
There are hundreds of Newton Books out there on every kind of subject and you can find a lot of them at these sites:
Project Gutenberg:

Pudge's Pad perl Newton Books:

I have created some Newton Books for my own use that may be of interest. All books have proper overviews and some use hotlinks to navigate.
ASCII Codes Reference
The complete ASCII character set 0-255 with the decimal, hex and keyboard equivalents, the character and its name or meaning (where applicable).
Orientation: Any Newton
Length: 14 pages
Installed Size: 39k
All ASCII Codes.sit (25k)
All ASCII Codes.zip (27k)
Electronics Basics
A compilation of electronics data, circuits and related information I find handy to have easy access to. Waveforms and basic formulae are done but circuits have to be drawn.
Geometry Basics
A quick reference to the formulas for determining areas, perimeters, volumes and other attributes of 2D and 3D geometric shapes. Graphics are nearly done but equations have to be checked.
