Obooko

A legal library of free eBooks, with ads as the business model.

Obooko

Overview

Obooko is a public library of legally distributed eBooks. Readers download or read in-browser; authors keep their rights; the site is funded by advertising rather than paywalls. I worked on the platform side: catalog, downloads, user libraries, and the monetization that keeps the catalog free.

What I built

  • Catalog, downloads, and user library management.
  • Advertising-based monetization without a reader paywall.
  • Reader and author-facing workflows on a high-traffic content site.
