Among the many (hundreds-of-thousands) possible scripts to read, where can I browse for books that are 80 years old / out-of-copyright?

We recommend gutenberg.org (although they do have SOME copyrighted material on there, the vast majority is PD).
Also, Archive.org (anyone can upload anything, but any text scans that show publication dates of 1922 or earlier are OK to use)
and HathiTrust.org

Those are our top recommendations for text sources. Here's a page in our wiki with more ideas: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Book_Resources

For the record, 80 years old is still under copyright in the US. :cry: To be clearly PD, texts must have been published in 1922 or earlier.
