Feedbooks is 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.

The website announced in 2024 that it will be shut down and replaced by Cantook.[2]

Features

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

Books can be discovered and accessed by any client using the OPDS standard.

Self-published books are edited using a web interface;[4] they are also accessible via dedicated Kindle and mobile websites.[5] The interface also supports creating footnotes.[6]
