The FlipBook suite of digital publishing solutions provides content that FlipViewer®, in turn, can use. Let us look at FlipViewer® first.

FlipViewer® the Start of FlipBooks
FlipViewer® comes in three versions: FlipViewer® which is for PCs, Mac FlipViewer® which is for Macs and FlipViewer® Xpress which allows FlipBooks to be viewed in standard browsers. In addition there is CD FlipViewer® which is also available for PCs and Macs.
All versions of FlipViewer® allow you to read FlipBooks in a virtual 3D page flipping manner. This gives you the sense and look of a real book. In addition to the written word and images that you can see in both real and virtual books, FlipBooks can display animations, video and high quality audio that you can’t get in real books.

Next we will briefly look at the basic software for producing FlipBooks and the suite of digital publishing solutions that go with them.

Enterprise Products to Produce FlipBooks
Firstly comes FlipPublisher® Enterprise which is the basic software for the actual production of the FlipBook and publishing it on the net.  Then comes the suite of digital publishing solutions: The DRM Solution which enables you to copyright protect the material in the FlipBook; Then there is FlipAnalyzer™ that tracks the way that the reader uses your FlipBook. These are the attributes that along with animation, video and audio make the FlipBook more versatile than any hard bound or paper bound book or magazine.

Now we come to the latest addition to the family: FlipBook™ Creator.

FlipBook™ Creator – the New Wizard for Creation of FlipBooks
FlipBook™ Creator is a wizard based program that allows you to create and publish FlipBooks for viewing on FlipViewer®, Mac FlipViewer® and FlipViewer® Xpress; package your FlipBook into OPZ, which is the compressed version of the FlipBook file type OPF; and package your FlipBook into a CD.

This amazing program has a wizard style interface that allows you to intuitively create your own FlipBook. It allows you to specify different book attributes and add different page formats e.g. HTML pages, images and PDF documents to the FlipBook. You can even preview the FlipBook at any step in the creation process.

When you use FlipBook™ Creator to create FlipBooks for viewing on FlipViewer® and Mac FlipViewer®, not only can you customize the look and feel of the FlipBook so that it is truly your own book, but you can also: add bookmarks to pages to distinguish the chapters; create hyperlinks within pages as well as to external websites; add multimedia to the FlipBook to really bring it alive (you can add flash objects as well); customize auto-flipping if you want it—this allows you to automatically flip to the next page at, for instance, specified intervals or when a flash object or audio item finishes; add encryption to the FlipBook to protect copyright and; control how the reader can interact with your FlipBook.

Consumer Products – the FlipAlbum®
The final member of the family is the FlipAlbum® series of products which gives the individual consumer access to the Digital Flip® Technology so they can create items like digital photo albums.
