Bard is the download site for the collection of the National Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. They have a lot of stuff, including a wide variety of cookbooks, including The Joy of Cooking, the 1918 Fannie Farmer Cookbook, and the massive Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It's a useful resource for cooks. And yes, they have a lot of novels and other books there too. And it's free for blind and visually impaired folks, all you have to do is fill out their form and they'll even send you out a digital book player free of charge too.

Maybe that site specializes in cookbooks? I'll have to see. I am assuming it's an org. Then again it's called Bard, so in addition to cookbooks, maybe there are novels and such.
