Flipbooks are much more than digital books

Flipbooks are a very popular interactive document format on the Internet. Unlike PDFs, e-books or traditional digital books, they simulate a physical book or magazine, so that users can flip through the pages to explore the information, as they would in a real document.

In recent years they have significantly improved their features to be more interactive, accessible and responsive; allowing the inclusion of links, content windows, graphic and audiovisual resources, which amplify the possibilities of creating entertaining and meaningful content for audiences.

Some benefits and advantages of using interactive books, such as flipbooks, are:

Promote an interactive and interesting user experience.

The effect of turning pages and simulating the reading of a physical book can be attractive to the audience, which will increase their interest in the content, and eventually their attention and reading time.

This can be especially relevant in didactic materials or promotional products, as well as to break the barriers generated by the digital divide.

They are multiplatform and adapt to the device.

This implies that it is possible to consult them on computers, tablets or cell phones, since they are adapted to be conveniently accessible from any device.

Very easy to distribute and access

Only a browser is required. A link in an email or Whatsapp, a QR code or a button on a website are enough to share them.

In addition, there are alternatives to download or use on USB keys to access them offline.

Interactive and audiovisual resources can be included.

In addition to texts and photographs, they have the possibility of integrating animations, links, photo galleries, videos and audios. These resources can be integrated to create a more dynamic and enriching experience, with the ability to integrate more information.

Ahorran costos y promueven la sostenibilidad

Al ser digitales, disminuyen, de manera considerable, los costos de producción y distribución. También son una opción más ecológica, ya que reducen el impacto de la tinta, el papel y el proceso de producción.

Accessibility and wider reach

They are an alternative when it is not possible to provide physical materials. They also have features that allow documents created with this technique to maintain accessibility standards for the visually impaired and web indexing.

In addition, they can be an excellent complement when developing products for print, because an interactive version can be adapted from the print design.

All these advantages make flipbooks an excellent option to present catalogs, magazines, manuals, portfolios, reports, stories, didactic materials and other resources in an innovative and effective way.

Flipbooks are more than just turning pages; they are an opportunity to create immersive, interactive and multimedia experiences.

For some examples of this format, we leave you with a couple of resources we have developed: the brochure for Tour Operators of Sustainable Sarapiquí and our Services Catalog.
