We all have books we love so much, we'd like to give them to the world. We want to share them, but also reward their creators. With digital books, it can be hard to do both.
Unglue.it lets us do both. We run campaigns for books; you help by buying, pledging, and telling your friends. When the campaign reaches the goal, the ebook becomes unglued – free to the world.
Creative Commons licensing means everyone, everywhere can read and share the unglued book - freely and legally. We can give our our favorite books to the world!
