Booktype is a free and open source[1] software for authoring, collaborating, editing, and publishing books to PDF, ePub, .mobi, and HTML formats.[2][3] It was launched by Sourcefabric in February 2012 when Booktype evolved from the Booki software, which powers FLOSS Manuals.[4][5]
In March 2015 it was announced that Amnesty International was using a pre-release version of Booktype 2.0 to publish its Annual Report on the state of human rights, in multiple languages.[6]
Booktype interface localizations are crowd-sourced from volunteers in a Transifex project.[7]
Organisations using Booktype[edit]
Amnesty International has been using Booktype for their annual reports in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016.[8] Books on Demand), the European market and technology leader for digital book publications use Booktype branded as easyEditor for their self-publishing service.[9] The Berlin-based publisher mikrotext uses Booktype for their entire catalogue.[10]
