The Internet Archive BookReader is a JavaScript library for viewing scanned books online in a browser, with page-turning, zoom, search-inside, and bookmarking features. It powers the 'Read Online' experience on archive.org and Open Library and can be embedded in other sites to display digitized book images.

Use cases

  • embed an online book reader for scanned books on my website
  • display digitized book pages with page-turning in the browser
  • add search inside a book to a digital library viewer
  • view Internet Archive books online
  • build a digital library reading interface for scanned images
  • add zoom and bookmarking to an online book viewer

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested, production-proven reader for scanned page images
  • you want to display Internet Archive or Open Library books
  • you need an embeddable, customizable book viewer with search-inside support

When to avoid

  • you need to render EPUB or PDF reflowable ebooks rather than page images
  • you need a mobile-native reading app rather than a web component
  • you require a fully stable public API - v5 is in beta and may introduce breaking changes
