The Mission

We're on a mission to create simple publishing tools that empower writers and delight readers.

Ebook Glue solves a simple frustration: difficulty in publishing content for electronic reading devices. It started off as a small side project, and has evolved into a growing web application that thousands of people rely on to publish their content online.

Ebook Glue was developed in late 2012, and was launched on December 24, 2012. Since then, over 200,000 books have been created using our software, and our team has grown to include eight amazing Arizona State University students.

Ebook Glue is headquartered in sunny Phoenix, Arizona.
