Web Books
As digital publishing becomes more ubiquitous and accessible, an increasing number of authors are choosing to publish their books directly online, under permissive licenses, as born-digital HTML web pages (Web Books). Because this format is often self-published, there aren't many comprehensive catalogs of Web Books. Open Library is attempting to increase the discovery of these titles, to better promote authors, and to improve the discovery of these titles to patrons on the web. Browse Web Books (beta)
