About
Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that takes public domain texts from sources like Project Gutenberg and produces high-quality ebook editions with professional typography, careful proofreading, rich metadata, and modern ereader features. All ebooks are free, open-source, and released into the public domain. The project aims to provide beautifully formatted digital books that rival commercially produced editions.
Problem
Free public domain ebooks are often poorly formatted, full of typos, and lack professional typography and modern ereader features.
For
book lovers and ereader users who want high-quality free digital books
How it works
