About
This project is a web reader built by NYPL for reading eBooks. It was designed using the Readium Architecture, and specifically built for Webpubs. Webpub is a spec defined by the Readium Foundation to provide a common abstraction between many types of web publications. This project currently focuses on HTML-based Webpubs and Webpubs that define PDF collections. An HTML-based Webpub can be generated from many types of eBooks, but most commonly ePubs. This project features an example application under /example, which is deployed here: https://nypl-web-reader.vercel.app. Basic usage within a React app, using the default UI: NYPL Web Reader is the open-source project NYPL/web-reader (https://github.com/NYPL/web-reader) by NYPL, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 03d4953ccf20, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
