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 offers a win-win solution: Crowdfunding. We run pledge campaigns for books; you chip in. When, together, we've reached the goal, we'll reward the book's creators and issue an unglued ebook.
Creative Commons licensing means everyone, everywhere can read and share the unglued book - freely and legally. You've given your favorite book to the world.

Ebook Conversion

I am a copyright holder. Do I need to already have a digital file for a book I want to unglue?
No. You may run campaigns for any of your books, even those that exist only in print copies or are out of print. Any print book can be scanned to create a digital file that can then become an ePub-format unglued ebook.
Will Unglue.it scan the books and produce ePub files?
No. We will help you find third parties who will contract for conversion services.
Will Unglue.it raise money to help pay for conversion costs?
Your campaign target should include conversion costs.
