What Libreture is
Libreture is a cloud library for DRM-free ebooks, digital comics, magazines, and other reading material. It extracts information from uploaded files to create book pages, reducing the need for manual cataloguing. Supported formats include ePub, Mobi, PRC, PDF, CBZ, and CBR, and files can be downloaded in their original upload format. Readers can track activity, organize titles into lists and Collections, save favourites and wishlists, and write recommendations. Discovery tools include public libraries and recommendations, with links to shops where library owners bought titles. Libraries are private by default; owners can make them public and hide individual books, while uploaded files are not exposed publicly. Books are accessible in a browser or through OPDS-compatible apps and devices. The free plan includes 500MB of storage and all features; paid storage tiers are billed at £3, £6, or £16 per month. Libreture says it aims to help readers discover independent ebooks and support independent publishing. Its privacy policy says it collects account username, password, and email, while Stripe handles payment details.
