Your complete reading suite: search, download and read books for free.
Bibliomar is a book search engine that uses the LibraryGenesis database as a base. The best way to understand how it works, is to simply access the site.
The target audience is Brazilian, since in our country some books can reach more than 5% of the minimum salary, and the existing alternatives on the internet force the user to wait long download queues, or simply do not have such a robust catalog.
However, Bibliomar is fully available in English, and we also plan to support more languages down the road (we are looking for volunteers!)
Bibliomar DOES NOT host or distribute any of the files visible on the website. We are an alternate catalogue interface, and the only info we have direct access is books' metadata (title, author, etc).
Download files are distributed by LibraryGenesis or any of the available sources.
Bibliomar became a big project, and will probably continue to grow. Our goal is to make Bibliomar the definitive reading solution in Brazil (and in Portuguese-speaking countries), and the world.
Some of the main features are:
-
Search and download books in an intuitive interface. And that tied to the use of the huge LibraryGenesis catalog means that you will probably find what you are looking for.
-
Fast (and i mean it) search results.
-
Search suggestions, autocomplete and highlighting of search terms.
-
Full flexibility on how users build search queries.
-
Fulltext search and boolean queries.
-
Massively improved human language processing (when compared to MySQL's native fulltext search).
-
A library with five different categories, where you can save your books.
-
A explore screen where you can find the most popular entires, and also the most recent.
-
Read your books online, without the need to download an ePub reader. Powered by epub-js and react-reader.
-
A dark mode, of course.
-
Lots of things that don't fit here. Check for yourself ;)
We have built a custom reader component that allows the user to customize the font size, font family, background and
etc.
You are free to use it in your own projects. Just copy the code
