PressBooks Features

  • Export formats

    Export your books to EPUB (for Apple iBooks, Nook, Kobo), upload your EPUB to Kindle for conversion, export to PDF for print-on-demand, and make a public or private web version of part or all of your book.

  • Beautiful book designs

    Choose from several ebook design templates, make your own, or let us create something for you. We also have a range of PDF templates, and can work with you to customize the typesetting for print.

  • Distribution

    We can get your book sold through Kindle, Apple iBooks, Nook, Kobo, and many other ebook retailers. Or you can manage distribution yourself.

  • Book discoverability

    You can make all or part of your book available on the web as a webbook. Webbooks are easily discoverable through search engines and accessible on any device. They also can help you build readership, provide analytics about your audience, and encourage direct sales (coming soon!).

  • Collaboration

    Unlimited users means you can invite many collaborators. Create multi-author projects with online workflows for distributed teams.

  • Easy to use

    PressBooks is built on WordPress — so if you know how to blog, you know how to make a beautiful ebook, and a lovely typeset PDF. And you can import easily from WordPress, Tumblr, and Blogger.
