The page turning is theatrical, but elegant. Fancy page-turning isn&#8217;t necessary, and issuu has an option not to display the magazine that way. I suppose it substitutes for the feel of a magazine while we are in this transitional time.<\/p>\n<p>The service is free, and they also have a for-pay version that has some advantages &#8212; mainly the removal of the sidebar ad listings of similar publications that are shown on the main site.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/screenpublishing\/\/Issuu.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Issuu.jpg\" width=\"490\" height=\"194\" \/><\/div>\n<p>E-books on issuu is mainly a web experience. But a WiFi iPad could display the issuu-converted magazines or books quite well. This is a good provisional hybrid solution: let issuu store and display the files (and absorb the high traffic &#8220;expense&#8221; of PDF downloads) yet you can embed them in a website optimized for display on an iPad. You would get the benefits of some limited interactivity and high-end feel (page turning, embedded links to youtube videos\/music, and of course links to 3rd party sites) for no iPad development time\/costs. It takes some people a little time to get used to using it, but once they have the knack, it is easy.<\/p>\n<p>I believe Issuu.com is located somewhere in Scandanavia or maybe Holland. There uptime is near perfect and the response time never lags because of any server queuing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the comments Stephen Duplantier pointed me to Issuu.com as a tool for PDFs.
