If you’re looking to self-publish work of any length and want an easy-to-use tool that offers a high degree of customization, allows flexibility with publishing formats (EPUB, PDF), and provides web-hosting options, Pressbooks may be great for you. Pressbooks is often the tool of choice for academics creating digital books, open textbooks, and open educational resources, since you can license your materials for reuse however you desire. Learn the basics of how to use Pressbooks for publishing your original books or course materials. We’ll also highlight a new integrated tool to ensure that your materials are accessible to users with disabilities.
