Features

Our book-making system was designed specifically for photographers and artists, and it includes the most important features photo/art books require. Your book can have  multiple chapters, a proper table of contents, and any other kind of page you can design. A basic page contains:

  • A big picture on the page
  • Multiple zooming, rotating, fading, scaling pictures
  • An pull-down overlay
  • A block of text with a headline
  • A caption with title, date, and place
  • Built-in slideshow, with audio tracks for the whole book or just a chapter
  • The possibility of multiple chapters, not just pages.

In addition to the basics, there are many other features:

Picture Grids: A grid of popup-images, useful for “out-takes” or “extra images” for a page.<

Audio, Video, Animations:

  • A “play audio” button to play a sound, such as an interview, actuality, your voice-over
  • A “play video” button to play a video
  • Custom animations, big or small

Email, Web Links, Facebook, Twitter:

  • Facebook and Twitter integration, so readers can promote your book as they read
  • A Google Maps link using any search term, such as a city or GPS coordinate
  • Buttons to send Email
  • Buttons to go to web pages
  • Pop-up web pages inside the app
  • Google mapping pop-up pages inside the app

 

Slideshow

Your readers can see your book as a slideshow with a soundtrack. Tapping the play button in the navigation bar starts the show. Another tap on the screen stops it.

 

Navigation: Using the Book

You can navigate the book with links from the table of contents, and each chapter has a navigator. The navigator appears with a single tap on the screen. It lets the reader get around easily and quickly.

The reader can jump to the table of contents, to the previous or next chapter, or jump to any page in the chapter.

There’s even a slideshow button. A tap makes the book place like a slideshow, fading to black between pages.

 

Captions

Captions let you show everything related to a particular picture in one place. You can play audio, movie clips, show an overlay over the page, or even show a map of where the image was taken. The caption also includes Facebook and Twitter buttons so readers can let others know they like a particular page, an important part of your marketing.

 

 

Overlays

Overlays let you add commentary and drawings to any picture. The reader can swipe down an overlay for any page, covering the original picture. Because the overlay can be transparent, you can offer notes and commentary on any picture. Overlays can show a picture, text, or both.

 

 

 

 

 

Picture Grids

Picture grids are a quick way of showing addition pictures on a page. You can show a grid of pictures on a page, or on the overlay. Each picture can enlarge with a tap of the finger.
