htunnicliff commented on Standard Ebooks: Public Domain Day 2026 in Literature standardebooks.org/blog/p... · Posted by u/WithinReason
I’m a contributor – I did Kafka’s The Castle, Agatha Christie’s Giant’s Bread, and Stella Benson’s The Faraway Bride for this launch – and I’m happy to answer any questions about Standard Ebooks.
Have any public library systems ever tried to partner with Standard Ebooks to help improve the discoverability and accessibility of classics for ebook users?
It would be neat to see those editions show up in when browsing collections in apps like Libby or Overdrive (at least in the U.S.).
Editor-in-chief here, happy to answer any questions, as always. We also recently celebrated Public Domain Day with an especially notable crop of books, including The Sound and the Fury, All Quiet on the Western Front, John Steinbeck's first novel, some Hemingway, Gandhi, two Dashiell Hammett novels, and more: https://standardebooks.org/blog/public-domain-day-2025
I’d love to know more about the pattern of keeping each book in individual repos, rather than in a singular repo.

I'm generally not a fan of the incremental rustification of the Python ecosystem, but I started using uv a few weeks ago just for this particular case and have been liking it. And to the point where I'm considering to migrate my full projects as well from their current conda+poetry flow. Just a couple days ago I also modified a script I've been using for a few years to patch pylsp so it can now see uv script envs using the "uv sync --dry-run --script <path>" hack.
