Booktype is a free and open source[1] software for authoring, collaborating, editing, and publishing books to PDF, ePub, .mobi, and HTML formats.[2][3] It was launched by Sourcefabric in February 2012 when Booktype evolved from the Booki software, which powers FLOSS Manuals.[4][5]
In March 2015 it was announced that Amnesty International was using a pre-release version of Booktype 2.0 to publish its Annual Report on the state of human rights, in multiple languages.[6]
Booktype interface localizations are crowd-sourced from volunteers in a Transifex project.[7]
While Booktype is open source software, it also exports books to the proprietary desktop publishing software Adobe InDesign via the ICML markup language.[8]
Facilitators of the book sprint method - creating a book collaboratively in a short period of time - regard Booktype as a "specialist software for doing book sprints".[9]
Booktype is no longer under development.[10]
Organisations using Booktype
Amnesty International has been using Booktype for their annual reports three years in a row in 2014/2015, 2015/2016[11] and 2016/2017.[12] Template:Interlanguage link multi), the European market and technology leader for digital book publications use Booktype branded as easyEditor for their self-publishing service.[13] The Berlin-based publisher mikrotext uses Booktype for their entire catalogue.[14]

In 2017, Booktype won the Neuland 2.0 jury award for innovation in media and book publishing at the Leipzig Book Fair.[16]
