Feedbooks was a digital library and cloud publishing service for both public domain and original books founded in June 2007 and based in Paris, France. [1] The main focus of the web site is providing e-books with particularly high-quality typesetting in multiple formats, particularly EPUB, Kindle, and PDF formats.

Contents

The website announced in 2024 that it will be shut down and replaced by Cantook. [2] As of July, 23, 2024, the domain feedbooks.com redirects to Cantook.com. [3]

Features

Custom PDF generation settings, like trim size dimensions and margins, are possible on the site. [4] Feedbooks offers over 80,000 ebooks. As of 2011, Feedbooks distributed around 3 million ebooks every month.[ citation needed ]

Books can be discovered and accessed by any client using the OPDS standard. Self-published books are edited using a web interface; [5] they are also accessible via dedicated Kindle and mobile websites. [6] The interface also supports creating footnotes. [7]
