Standard Ebooks is an open source, volunteer-driven project to create and publish high-quality, fully featured, and accessible e-books of works in the public domain.[1][2]

Standard Ebooks sources titles from places like Project Gutenberg, the Internet Archive, and Wikisource, among others,[3] but differs from those projects in that the goal is to maximize readability for a modern audience, take advantage of accessibility features available in modern e-book file formats, and to streamline updates to the e-books (such as typo fixes) by making use of GitHub as a collaboration tool.

All Standard Ebooks titles are released in epub, azw3, and Kepub formats, and are available through Google Play Books and Apple Books. All of the project's e-book files are released in the United States public domain, and all code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.
