Just had a random thought about building a decentralised online library using the #Murmurations protocol.
Many authors make e-versions of their books available for reading or download on their website, like David Holmgren's RetroSuburbia;

Part manual, part manifesto, RetroSuburbia shows how your home can be transformed to become productive and resilient in an energy descent future. Be inspired and empowered to make positive changes in your life.RetroSuburbia
