Description
Our mission is simple: to foster the love of reading.
Our goal is to provide a free and safe reading environment in which students can develop a relationship with reading on their own terms. Open eBooks offers free ebook titles to students to read on their school-provided or personal devices.
Open eBooks stands apart from other ebook apps because we are focused only on reading. We do not collect, store or sell any personal data about users, sell any books or support any sort of in-app purchase, and do not gain any profit.

To get access to Open eBooks credentials to log on, teachers, school administrators, librarians and other educators can visit www.openebooks.org/educators where they can learn about our registration process.

Ratings and Reviews
Glitchy
I really love this app, and I would have given 5 stars, but the app has already removed books from my account twice, and when I download them again, I am put back to the beginning of the book. There is no option to go to a particular page, which is frustrating and forces me to go one page at a time to get back to where I left off. Please fix with next update.
Get the full series
I haven’t looked very hard but two series that I have read don’t have all the books. For example, the scarlet rose. All they have is book 2 and 3 but there are 5 books! I like this series but I can’t read it all. I don’t even know how it started!

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. Your input is valuable to us, and helps us work towards improving Open eBooks. We will look to include the rest of the Scarlet Rose series in our next request to our publisher partners. Participating publishers generously donate titles to Open eBooks with consideration to requests, but it's not always possible for us to obtain requested titles.

Pretty Good but…
I like this app, it is really good but I don’t know if it is my phone or the app, but nothing is loading in on it. I open the app because my dad has my real books, and nothing is loading in. I don’t know if it is the app or my phone but I hope it gets fixed. Other than that, this app is really good!
