Project Gutenberg, the long‑running free eBook archive, now hosts over 75,000 titles, including classic works that have entered the public domain. Users can download ePub or Kindle files, read online, or browse by author, subject, or language.

The archive relies on a volunteer network that digitizes, proofs, and curates content. Since its launch in 1971, volunteers have added new titles daily, while a small donation fund supports further digitization.

A recent update highlights the *World Library Foundation*’s self‑publishing portal, allowing authors to submit new works under open licenses. The site also partners with LibriVox for audiobooks, expanding accessibility.

Project Gutenberg remains a key resource for scholars, students, and casual readers, offering a zero‑cost repository that preserves literary heritage while embracing modern e‑reading formats.
