Digital Magazine in Flash

[MylesX3]

We are a magazine publisher and are looking to offer our associations more
options by giving them digital versions of their printed magazines. We like the
flipping page style, and would need to convert magazines between 40 and 120
pages into this format. Plus offering more interactive content if possible.

Since everything is time/cost sensitive we need speedy solutions. We found a
tool to use but just before purchase we noticed something we question.

Product is from page-flip.com. The FlippingBook Flash Component.
However they have a more expensive product called FlippingBook HTML Edition.

The HTML edition is no where near as advance as the Component, so why is it
more expensive?

[b]Why am I asking this here?[/b]
Because they have not responded to any email, provide no phone number, and
have no refund policy if we buy the wrong version.

[b]Anyone heard of them or used this product?[/b]

Any other product that can do this?

I can handle building sites etc in Flash, but taking an 80 page magazine and
making it digital flip book style in 2 days or less would be too much without
software to automate it. A tool I can implement into my workflow is ideal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Myles

I've used the Flash component, and it works well. However it's not going to
automate anything for you - it simply "flips" a movie clip. You still need
to fill those clips with content. I don't know anything of the HTML version,
sorry.

Hi Dave.

Thanks for the response.

Is the component able to create the basics flip pages the HTML version does as
well as the more advanced versions?

The automation I am referring to is no need to do everything from scratch.
Make the required JPEG's etc as needed for each page, and go from there.

I tried the mac version of kvisoft: http://www.kvisoft.com/flipbook-maker-mac/ which is suggested by zmc. It works.
I will wait for its updated versions.
