Discovery is limited
PDF archives are not searchable, so users cannot find what exists.
Institutions publish knowledge.
The web buries it.
Libraries, universities, and public organizations generate valuable knowledge that too often remains inaccessible and underused.
We bring that value back to the web.
With ReaderPub, institutions create web publications that stay visible and useful over time.
Why institutional publishing fails online
Many organizations successfully publish valuable knowledge but struggle to make it visible, accessible, and actively used.
Collections remain isolated
PDF files are not designed for easy reading on mobile devices.
Discussion rarely happens
Reading happens without community, discussion, or feedback loops.
Reusability is low
Knowledge remains locked in archives instead of circulating through the open web.
Value remains hidden
Important materials fail to reach the audiences they were created to serve.
The solution: ReaderPub turns knowledge into active web assets
Readable on the web
Collections can be opened directly in the browser.
Searchable and structured
Books, authors, and collections become easier to find and navigate.
Connected to discussion
Readers and researchers can engage across works in a controlled-access environment.
Useful beyond storage
Institutional publishing becomes active public infrastructure, not just digital preservation.
Publish on the web without losing control. Keep your audience.
Launch catalogs, excerpts, and controlled reading programs on a public platform built for discovery—with secure, account-based access and a delivery model designed to reduce file-leakage risk.
Access is fully configurable: institutions define who can read, which content is restricted, and how access is granted to users and teams.
Alongside web publishing, ReaderPub delivers a production-ready EPUB that you can archive, distribute externally, or publish on other platforms—while keeping primary access securely managed online.

Control access at every level
ReaderPub gives institutions administrative control over publications, users, and teams—so you can manage access, roles, and distribution policies from a single platform.
- Assign access by user, group, or role
- Control visibility of individual publications
- Manage internal teams and external audiences
- Maintain oversight across your entire catalog
Built to reduce file leakage
In file-based systems, content can circulate beyond the platform after delivery. ReaderPub minimizes that risk by keeping primary reading access on the web instead of routinely distributing a complete downloadable book file.
Traditional DRM tries to control a file after delivery. ReaderPub reduces risk earlier by avoiding routine end-user delivery of the primary reading file.
Institutional knowledge assistant
Organizations can offer Scribe, a specialized AI companion for controlled-access publications, collections, and educational materials.
Scribe helps readers ask focused questions across approved materials while keeping the conversation tied to the institution’s collection, course context, and access rules. Exploration stays inside ReaderPub.

Libraries

Public organizations
Increase the usefulness of published information.
Research groups
