IntechOpen
BankerX Rating: ★★★★☆
Just under 5k open access books with over 100k citations. Aimed at scientists. Great for referencing with focus more on academic research. Less emphasis on introductory guides and basic explainers.

Open Textbook Library
BankerX Rating: ★★★☆☆
Just under 800 textbooks available. The materials that are uploaded are great quality but there is a chance of you not finding the book you're looking for given the lack of depth across each category

One of the most comprehensive libraries to exist. Links to lecture materials, study guides, primers and every sub-set of a course you could think of. All linked back to established universities.

Wikibooks
BankerX Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Plenty of better resources out there, would not recommend this one. Citations aren't often updated and it's not a great idea to reference from. Content quality is also a bit inconsistent.

Project Gutenberg
BankerX Rating: ★★★☆☆
Over 60k ebooks for download across textbooks, old texts, novels and academic publications. Can end up becoming a rabbit hole to find what you need. Still, a fantastic resource.

Saylor
BankerX Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Offers over 100 full length courses. Some areas are a bit thin on content especially around economics and finance. Useful for introductory level resources.
