A free and legal way to share ebooks, Unglue allows users to distribute DRM-free ebooks through torrent creation and library management.
Unglue is an open source platform and nonprofit organization that aims to legally distribute free and DRM-free ebooks to the public. Its goal is to ensure that books and information are accessible to all.
The Unglue platform allows users to create and host ebook torrents. When there is enough funds pledged to 'unglue' a book by purchasing it from its publisher, Unglue facilitates this process and distributes a free, legal and DRM-free version of the ebook.
In addition to the torrent hosting, Unglue maintains its own catalog and library of public domain, Creative Commons licensed and unglued ebooks across various genres and topics. Users can freely browse, read online or download these ebooks in multiple formats.
Overall, Unglue serves as an alternative distribution model to challenge the norms of restricted ebook licensing and expensive pricing. It aims to keep information open and bypass limitations to access through legal means.
