This provides the user with a unique reading experience, giving them the sound and visuals of reading a real book or magazine made from ink and paper,” noted the company.

Flip HTML5 allows users to add YouTube (News – Alert) videos, images, photo slide shows, audio, and flash animations to the flip books.

Key features include customizable conversion page ranges, two optional render engines for different needs, adjustable output page quality and size, the ability to import existing links and table of contents from source PDF, and a flipbook search feature.
