What is it?
Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven 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 are already believed to be in the U.S. public domain, and Standard Ebooks dedicates its own work to the public domain, thus releasing the entirety of each ebook file into the public domain. All the ebooks we produce are distributed free of cost and free of U.S. copyright restrictions.
Standard Ebooks is organized as a “low-profit L.L.C.,” or “L3C,” a kind of legal entity that blends the charitable focus of a traditional not-for-profit with the ease of organization and maintenance of a regular L.L.C. Our only source of income is donations from readers like you.
Standard Ebooks takes works that are in the public domain, uses multiple editions of the work to cross-reference, edits for typo’s and other corrections, and then typesets them into well formatted eBooks. These editions are then released as epub2, epbu3, azw3, kepub and xhtml editions. All of their books are free downloads (as should be given they are public domain works).
The focus on literary works, mystery, adventure, science fiction, poetry, biography, and comedy, drama, etc. works.
They currently have over 1900 works available.
