Keep the pages that would have vanished

Bookmarks rot. Essays disappear behind redesigns and dead domains. Ebookany is the simple feature โ€” turn the web you care about into a library you actually keep.

URLs become a book you keep.

I used to treat the internet like it would wait.

I bookmarked essays the way people stack books on a nightstand โ€” a promise. Then the redesign. The paywall. The domain that expired. The thread that only made sense in a moment that had passed. I had a graveyard of URLs and almost nothing I could hold.

The pain was not โ€œI need another reading app.โ€ The pain was that the best things I found were more fragile than I was willing to admit. I wanted the web to become a library with my name on the spine.

The cut

Ebookany is one feature: turn what you found into something you keep.

A URL, a blog, an RSS feed, a Google Doc, a Notion page, even a video โ€” into EPUB or PDF. A cover. A layout you can live with. Send it to Kindle or to yourself. Read it on a plane when the network is a rumor.

It started as my own panic: I was losing work I had already found. The product is the opposite of a bookmark. A bookmark points. A book remains.

Why other people kept it

Researchers compiling a trail. Founders turning a newsletter into something they can sell. Readers who travel. Anyone who has searched for a paragraph they swear they read, only to find a 404.

I did not build a publishing empire. I built a way to take the open web seriously enough to bind it. Teams use it because knowledge that lives only in a tab is not knowledge. It is a mood.

Simple feature

If a page mattered enough to save, it mattered enough to own in a format that survives the next redesign. Input the source. Shape it. Download or send.

The internet is temporary. A library does not have to be. That is the whole product โ€” and the first simple feature I shipped because I was tired of losing the good parts.
