Making the world safe for free ebooks.

We assist Project Gutenberg by maintaining and enhancing software modules that power Project Gutenberg. Ebookmaker processes source files contributed over the span of more than 20 years to generate modern EPUB3 and HTML5 files for almost 75,000 books. Our MARC record project enables libraries around the world to take advantage of that digital content. This work grew out of GITenberg, an exploration of how Project Gutenberg might take advantage of modern software enineering tools and workflows.

Free Programming Books is a collaboratively maintained list of courses, podcasts/screencasts and other free resources about programming and related topics. To date, about 3,000 different contributors have compiled over 8,000 links to free programming resources. Its github repo is a top-ten "starred" project on Github. https://ebookfoundation.github.io/free-programming-books-search/

Unglue.it catalogs, distributes and helps to fund free-licensed and public domain ebooks. With over 85,000 free-licensed ebooks and almost 75,000 titles produced from Project Gutenberg, Unglue.it provides access across a wide variety of content. Unglue.it provides syndication feeds in ONIX, OPDS, and MARC for use in libraries around the world. More than eighteen million free ebooks have been dowloded via Unglue.it! https://unglue.it

The Free ebook Foundation also takes advantage of its small size and flexibility to undertake exploratory projects. Our past work has looked on free ebook usage and off-line ebooks. In 2023, we launched a link-checking capability for Directory of Open Access Books.

The Free Ebook Foundation (https://ebookfoundation.org)is a 501(c)3 New Jersey non-profit corporation. The Free Ebook Foundation envisions a world where ebooks will be funded, distributed and maintained for the benefit of all, by coordinating the efforts and resources of many.
