Standard Ebooks

[–] Kamirose@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I have several of their edition ebooks on my kindle. It's definitely my preferred way of reading public domain books, if they have them.

Here's their main website: https://standardebooks.org/

Thank you for sharing! Do they only release books in English?

[–] ray@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, it looks like they're limited to English.

Although I only really read physical books, this is some pretty impressive stuff!

I love Standard Ebooks: the files are well formatted with 0 typos and the e-reader cover art is also very nice as a screen saver compared to the plain Gutenberg files
