About threepress

threepress is a project to enable new revenue streams for print publishers using free and open tools for the web. We offer free software and demos, as well as custom development and consulting. Liza Daly is the primary developer and maintainer of all threepress software.

Projects

threepress is hosting three projects right now in varying stages of development:

1. Bookworm is a platform for reading ePub-formatted books online. Using Bookworm you can upload ePub books to add to your library and read them on a computer or via a web-connected mobile device. Bookworm books are searchable using the Xapian full-text search engine.

2. tei2epub and docbook2epub are standalone Python applications for converting TEI and DocBook XML into ePub.

3. threepress search is a Django application which includes utilities to index TEI content, serve carefully-formatted online texts, and provide ebook versions in various open formats.

All projects are licensed under the BSD license (except where different licenses apply to included components) and are available for checkout from Google Code at the threepress source repository.

The threepress sites includes fully-implemented samples of the above applications, with public domain content available for any use.

Where is the free book content from?

All books in the demonstration portion of the site are public domain and have been acquired in accordance with the guidelines set by the organizations.
