What is it?
Framabookin is the digital library of Framasoft. It contains a few hundred free or public domain books.

What is the goal?
Framasoft is not intended to host millions of digital books as Google Book can do.
On the other hand, we want to demonstrate that putting a library online digital, for family, private, institutional or even commercial use, can be done very simply.
Many OPDS catalogues already exist (atramenta.net, revue.org, ebooksgratuit.com…), by multiplying instances such as these, together, we take over possession of our data and participate in the decentralisation of the web.
