https://standardebooks.org is a project to properly format public domain eBooks so they look good and work well on modern e-readers
@noiob advanced ePubs where you can read a book and be served a pint of ale as well
@noiob im so glad this exists lmao
part of why i really disliked using gutenberg's releases is because of all the problems that this project fixes
@avie yeah, it makes me happy this exists
@noiob each book has a specially written blurb to describe it and give a plot synopsis too
that is. genuinely really bloody good, considering gutenberg just kind of assumes you already know the book
@avie yeah, and I love that they even go the extra mile of adding a nice cover
plus it seems like a way to get Project Gutenberg books in Germany, where the website is blocked
