A small sample of titles

Just open and read

Relax-n-Read is the Ride-n-Read library under a quieter name. The original idea was for commuters with twenty or thirty minutes to fill. It also suits a cup of tea and an unhurried afternoon.

Each book is a short, clear read — general knowledge, written without jargon. New titles are added regularly.

Always free

The library is entirely free to read. Nothing is locked behind a paywall.

We cover costs through voluntary donations and a modest read ten, pay for one option for those who would like to contribute.

Built in Australia

Made over the last twelve months by Jeff Johnson — a retired Australian, former ISP founder, embedded electronics tinkerer and published author — and his son Michael.
