Internet Archive BookReader
The BookReader was developed by the Internet Archive and open source contributors to make scanned books available to anyone with a web browser and internet connection. The Internet Archive has more than 1,000,000 scanned books available to read online. The BookReader is also used to provide access to materials from many other organizations.
Information on using the BookReader for your own materials can be found in the
BookReader developer docs. The BookReader is an open source project released under the AGPL 3 license.
For a demo of the BookReader you can have a look at one of our favourite books about birds or one of our other books below.
