Problem
Traditional ebook platforms often restrict user ownership and control over digital books, subjecting readers to potential censorship, platform shutdowns, and loss of access to purchased content. Authors and independent publishers face challenges in securing fair royalties and maintaining control over their intellectual property in centralized marketplaces.

The platform allows readers to collect, share, and preserve digital literature, offering true ownership and control over their digital libraries. Authors and independent publishers benefit from increased royalties, the ability to capture secondary market sales, and greater control over their intellectual property rights. Alexandria uses decentralized storage solutions to ensure that books are immutable and resistant to censorship.
