What is the digital Book What is a digital Book? A digital Book is an online publication that might be a digital version of a print magazine or it might be a magazine that was created specifically for the Internet. Digital Books are becoming increasingly popular among publishers and readers for a variety of reasons. First, publishers can save printing and postage costs by publishing a digital Book instead of a print book or by simply replacing part of its print run with the digital publication. Second, publishers are able to reach a whole new audience by distributing or making available their digital Book to the online world. Finally, publishers can make more money by selling such things as circulation, ads, videos and surveys in their digital Book. In short, the upside of digital Books is huge for the publisher. Users are awarded with an entirely new and unique experience every time they open a digital Book. Rather than looking at the flat, featureless appearance of a PDF file, users can participate in an interactive experience with a digital Book. Pages come to life as they turn, links make navigation fast and searches turn the digital Book into a research tool. Users can jet in and out of advertiser Web pages, complete surveys and watch videos – all without ever leaving the digital Book!

SECTION 3. OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION Documents online can now have the same feel as a physical copy. With this new technology Manah are able to get their publications read by more people for a cheaper cost. Page turn pro allows users to turn newsletters, catalogs, magazines, advertising flyers, research documents, proposals, brochures, annual reports, and more into interactive flip books. For companies advertising within a publication, readers will be more absorbed and likely to click on hyperlinks throughout the document. Page turn pro’s traffic reports will allow for subscribers to see what links where viewed, clicked on, and the click rate. This feature will allow for companies to develop a better relationship with advertisers, without any cost to their business. The advantage of flip books for readers is ease of locating content which in turn results in a more pleasurable reading experience. Readers also get the benefit of a completely interactive document, which can be embedded with videos, pictures, and other multimedia features. Unique Page Features           
