Welcome to Inkcover

Inkcover is a place to read and discuss books.

Our goal is to be the world’s largest free online library. It’s lofty, but achievable. 60,000 books have already been added!

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.”
- George Gordon Byron

We love books. To us, books are a form of action, capable of influencing change. It’s a powerful medium.

Sites like Gutenberg Project allow you to read books online for free as well. Unfortunately, what they lack is the reading experience.

What Inkcover does is recreate the experience of reading an actual book — online.

“I have a Kindle”, you say snobbishly? That great! Then you’ll love being able to download all the books in our library for free and read them on your shiny new Kindle. And don’t worry, Amazon won’t be able to snatch them away from you.

This blog will discuss issues surrounding books and publishing. And of course, keep you updated on our progress. Inkcover is due to launch Q1 2010.
