Our New Interactive Reading Platform

AU Press is excited to announce an innovative and interactive way to read our freely accessible ebooks! As a leader in open access publishing, AU Press is constantly striving for innovation and this new reading platform offers the accessibility and interactivity that we believe will help define the future of open access.

The reading platform that offers readers the ability to annotate, share, and comment on all our open access books. Readers can share their annotations publicly or keep them private. The platform allows readers to adjust font size, change to dark mode, and read on a variety of devices. We are able to incorporate audio, video, and supplementary documents to enrich our books. The result is interactive monographs that will encourage new ways of thinking about long-form scholarship.
