Overview
Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project creating high-quality, open-source editions of public domain ebooks. It goes beyond simple transcription by meticulously formatting and typesetting each ebook using a professional-grade style manual. The team thoroughly proofreads and corrects errors, creating editions that leverage state-of-the-art ereader and browser technology. Standard Ebooks offers modern and consistent typography, careful corrections, rich metadata, beautiful covers, and clean, semantic code. The project aims to provide not only readable ebooks but also a reliable base for others to build upon, promoting unrestricted access to culture.
