Yet Another {Unique} #Free #Ebook Site


Last week I published the post, 10 Sites with #Free #Ebooks

In the meantime, I discovered an 11th one

Very unique place:

“The Standard Ebooks project is a volunteer driven, not-for-profit effort to produce a collection of high quality, carefully formatted, accessible, open source, and free public domain ebooks that meet or exceed the quality of commercially produced ebooks. The text and cover art in our ebooks is already believed to be in the public domain, and Standard Ebook dedicates its own work to the public domain, thus releasing whole ebooks files themselves into the public domain.”

There are other interesting things about this company right here

And, you can Get Involved:

“At the most basic level, anyone can contribute feedback via our mailing list. Day-to-day readers can tell us about errors they spot in our ebooks. People with an eye for typography and a talent for editing can proofread whole ebooks. Technically inclined readers can produce ebooks themselves, or contribute via Github.”

Also, the ebooks are in epub, azw3, kepub, and epub3 formats

So, since it’s free, why not give them a try :-)
