Free fiction: 3 years worth of "Amazing Stories" magazine

Scans of 38 issues in CBR & CBZ formats, in 17 RAR files, at Crosseyed Cyclops.

January 1939 issue (in RAR #9) has one of the most famous stories of science fiction: Eando Binder's "I, Robot" (download comic book adaptation, watch video of a TV episode based on this story). This is said to be the first story that breaks the tradition in fiction started by Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" that man's sentient creations must turn against him.
PS: Actually, Frankenstein's "monster" is a widely misunderstood being in popular literature, going by Shelley's classic. But more on this some other time.

A few of the issues have been online already; I note where I know in list below.

Several RARs give errors during extraction. Set WinRAR's extraction dialog's "Keep broken files" flag on (default is off), & these will come but with some pages missing.

These downloads are human-time consuming because you can download only one RAR file at a time, each download must be started manually, & can download only so many of them per day (this last restriction for about half of later files).

Some of the issues contain reprints rather than original fiction - particularly of Jules Verne, but I think also of H G Wells & Edgar Allan Poe; may be other authors too.

At least on first look at ToCs, the issues edited by Hugo Gernsback (first few) appear more interesting than later ones. But I haven't read much from here - so this impression may be very wrong.

Here are the contents of individual RARs (links on author fetch more fiction by that author; link on an issue title goes to its annotated ToC page):

1. "Amazing 1 rar": "Amazing Stories Quarterly, Fall 1931", "Amazing Stories, July 1951".
