About Pressbooks

Pressbooks is an online publishing platform used by educational institutions around the world as well as authors and publishers. It is built on WordPress, and if you have used WordPress in the past, Pressbooks should feel familiar to you.

Pressbooks allows you to create content once and publish it in many different formats including as a website, PDF documents (print and digital), and EPUB (usable in most e-reading applications and devices). It also allows you to include multimedia and interactive content in the resource, like H5P activities and embedded video and audio.
