The People’s E-Book (@peoples_e) is a new epublishing service being built by Greg Albers, the founder and publisher of Hol Art Books (@holartbooks) with funds from 920 investors through Kickstarter. It will be a DIY tool anyone can use for free.
The People's E-Book seeks to be a lab, an incubator, an e-book creation platform for artists, authors, and alternative presses who want to try new things, publish new books, and push into new territories. The People's E-Book will handle ebooks of all sizes and scope, but it will excel in areas that no one else has cared to consider — the very small, the quick and dirty, the simple and the experimental.
The People’s E-book is a super-simple online tool with an intuitive visual interface to allow anyone to make e-books quickly and for free. This is barebones ebook publishing. What the photocopier was to zines, we hope The People’s E-book will be to digital books.
