Liber3 is a website that provides free access to millions of ebooks, similar to Z-library. It was launched in 2022 as an alternative to Z-library with a focus on enhanced security and resilience.

Technology

Unlike Z-library, Liber3 uses Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to decentralize its infrastructure. ENS replaces traditional domain names with blockchain-based .eth domains, making Liber3 more censorship-resistant. IPFS is a distributed network for storing and sharing files that removes single points of failure.

Library

Liber3 contains over 3 million free ebooks across diverse subjects including fiction, non-fiction, textbooks, and scientific publications. New titles are continually added through user submissions. All books can be downloaded without registration in PDF, EPUB, MOBI, and other formats.

Liber3 does not host or store any book files itself. Instead, books are distributed on the IPFS network while the index and metadata are managed on ENS. This limits legal risk and prevents single copyright takedowns from removing content.
