Many say that content is the king. It’s absolutely true. But, it would be much cooler if you pack your content with an appeal display. In the context of e-book, you can use the idea of flip book to turn your conventional e-book (which commonly in PDF) into a more interactive package.

Let’s take a scenario.

You are running a certain online service and showcasing the growth statistic of your service on your website as one of the promotional materials. In such scenario, people usually attach some PNG or PDF files of the statistics to let get the users informed. If the statistics are plenty in number users commonly have to jump from one page to another to see all of the stats, in which a bit hassle.

With a flip book you can display all of the stats in a single page. Your users will be able to read all of the stats in a virtual book, just like when they are reading a physical magazine.
