Not much more than three months ago, I wrote a post here titled “From photocopy to EPUB, artists’ e-books are coming”. Now, in collaboration with The Present Group, I’m building The People’s E-Book, a super-simple online tool to make e-books for free. It’s geared to artists and alternative publishers, but useful for everyone, and is meant as a way of making the .epub format much more approachable and achievable. We’re running a Kickstarter campaign to fund it, and there are more details and more about our vision for the tool on the project page there, or follow along with us at thepeoplesebook.net.
As a kickstarter supporter of this project, I’m very excited to see what they will bring.
