Institutional publishing, built for the web.
Libraries, universities, public organizations, and publishers—bring collections to the open web with trusted reading at scale.
ReaderPub is the missing web layer: fast onboarding, clean discovery, and a real in-browser reading experience.
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 across users and teams.
- Control access by channel, cohort, or program.
- Deliver web-only reading through verified user accounts — no downloadable files, no heavy DRM.

- 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.
