    What's a web book?

    A web book reads like a long web page, with a few things that make it easier to use than a PDF:

  • A contents list down the left side. Drag its edge to make it wider; the site remembers your choice.
  • Sections you can link to. Every heading has a number, like #2.1. Copy the link to a heading and send it to someone, and it opens at that spot.
  • In your language. Each book is in English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), German, French, Spanish, Korean and Arabic. The links between chapters work in every language.
  • Pictures that load as you scroll, so a long book opens quickly, even on a phone.

  • Prefer to read offline?

    Every book is also a PDF, and an ePub for e-readers. You'll find all of them, with their download links, on the free books page.
