Free E-Books

Standard E-books

https://standardebooks.org/

Volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain e-books that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of U.S. copyright restrictions, and free of cost.

Standard E-books takes e-books from sources like Project Gutenberg, formats and typesets them using a carefully designed and professional-grade style manual, fully proofreads and corrects them, and then builds them to create a new edition that takes advantage of state-of-the-art e-reader and browser technology.

Standard E-books aren’t just a beautiful addition to your digital library—they’re a high quality standard to build your own e-books on.
