Free intro-to-physics textbook(s)

If you're interested in physics, you may want to check out Light and Matter. You can download free copies of the books in PDF form. The books (from what I've checked out) are very readable.

However, they're definitely on the "anti-hardcore physics" side of things (though that isn't necessarily a bad thing). For instance, Kirchoff's Laws aren't called that, it's not as rigorous as some books are, etc.
