Pressbooks versus Page not found
Compare	Pressbooks	Page not found
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Educators publishing open textbooks (OER)	Guess: university presses and OER programs
Who it's not for	Solo fiction authors who only need fast EPUB/print formatting	Buyers who need a working, verifiable product page first
Privacy	One medium stored-XSS CVE from 2021; active patch releases since (including a WordPress 7 support + security fix release).^⁹	No security evidence found . the product's own security page returned 'Page not found.'¹¹
Support quality	No usable evidence in sources	No evidence . page 404'd.
Public sentiment	Self-publishers and academics describe Pressbooks as easy to use and a favorite for OER, but public review volume is tiny.^⁵	No user reviews of this product were found; all review evidence was unrelated 404-error content from other sites.
Biggest gotcha	Custom enterprise pricing means budget clarity requires a sales conversation.^³	Even the product's own security page is broken . site hygiene is questionable right now¹¹

Pick Pressbooks when

Educators publishing open textbooks (OER)
University libraries and consortia
Nonfiction authors needing EPUB/PDF/web output
Institutions running campus-wide publishing networks

When Pressbooks is not a fit

Solo fiction authors who only need fast EPUB/print formatting
Authors wanting built-in retail distribution and marketing
Buyers wanting a validated vendor track record . near-zero public reviews
Casual projects . a Google Doc or blog post suffices

Pick Page not found when

Guess: university presses and OER programs
Guess: authors publishing long-form books
Guess: institutions needing accessible export formats

When Page not found is not a fit

Buyers who need a working, verifiable product page first
Guess: teams wanting simple doc sharing . publishing platform overkill
Guess: anyone needing one-off PDFs without a publishing workflow
