About Pressbooks

Pressbooks is simple book production software that makes it easy to write, develop, and share your ideas. You can use Pressbooks to publish open educational resources, textbooks, scholarly monographs, fiction and non-fiction books, white papers, syllabi, and more.

Pressbooks lets creators quickly publish their content to the web and produce exports in multiple formats, including accessible EPUBs and PDFs specially designed for print-on-demand or digital distribution.
