We are a tech non-profit
We want a world in which digital book publishing uses web tech and is based on an open foundation. We want digital books to be a full-fledged medium and an emancipatory force. So we founded a non-profit. ✨
Why not a start-up?
Our goal isn’t to make a quick buck, but to create a sustainable platform whose stability helps everyone who uses it — publishers, readers and other institutions that make the book ecosystem so interesting.
We want to create an organisation that can earn its keep (however, you can support us at Patreon), while at the same time independently guaranteeing the quality and development of web books.

Reading belongs to the people
Web books have a chance to break our dependence on actors who exploit the book market just to make money. Plus, they are beautiful and easy to read.

I’m writing my medallion
I’m waiting until I get my PhD to mention it.

Thinking about the future of books
I’m hoping for a reading experience that takes off from paper, PDF and commercial readers and finds its place in open platforms on the web — the medium has already been created, let’s re-create it and make it better.

An enjoyable read on the web? That’ll be great!
I like being part of this foolish idea to weave a meaningful e-book format in amongst the clutter that prevails in this area so far. And she every strong idea is foolish to begin with.
