Booktype

Booktype is a free and open source software for authoring, collaborating, editing, and publishing books to PDF, ePub, .mobi, and HTML formats. It was launched by Sourcefabric in February 2012 when Booktype evolved from the Booki software, which powers FLOSS Manuals. In March 2015 it was announced that Amnesty International was using a pre-release version of Booktype 2.0 to publish its Annual Report on the state of human rights, in multiple languages. Booktype interface localizations are crowd-sourced from volunteers in a Transifex project. While Booktype is open source software, it also exports books to the proprietary desktop publishing software Adobe InDesign via the ICML markup language. Facilitators of the book sprint method - creating a book collaboratively in a short period of time - regard Booktype as a "specialist software for doing book sprints". Booktype is no longer under development.
