Seventy thousand out-of-copyright books as clean EPUB, Kindle and plain text.
The oldest digital library on the internet, run by volunteers who proofread scans into properly structured text rather than dumping OCR. Every title comes in EPUB, Kindle-compatible and plain-text formats with no DRM and no account, so a book is thirty seconds from your reader. The catalogue is defined by copyright expiry, which means the classics are all there and nothing from the last several decades is.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. Public domain only, so nothing modern, and the site has blocked German IP addresses since a 2018 court ruling.
Yes. Project Gutenberg sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
