I recently came across a really marvelous online resource on Amazonian languages, the Biblioteca Curt Nimuendaju (http://biblio.etnolinguistica.org/). This open access site makes available for free download in PDF format numerous hard-to-find linguistic works on Amazonian languages and ethnographic works on Amazonian peoples.
The focus of the collection to this point is on Brazilian Amazonian languages, but there are also works available on languages spoken in other parts of Greater Amazonia, and in some cases, in other parts of South America. The site is continuously adding new materials, so I expect that their coverage will expand over time. Interestingly, the organizers offer to locate and add specific works if visitors request them. So if the works you want are not available on the site, there is hope that they could be added.
Here is sampling of works that the Biblioteca currently has available online:
