In their own words
FlowPaper
FlowPaper converts PDFs into mobile-friendly interactive flipbooks and web publications. Its browser viewer compresses graphics and loads only the pages currently visible. The desktop publisher adds links, images, galleries and video from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia or self-hosted locations. Publications can be hosted on FlowPaper Cloud or self-hosted; the company says self-hosting has no publication-count limit. A JavaScript API exposes methods and events for integrating the viewer into an application or webpage. FlowPaper supports page-by-page Google Analytics tracking, while higher plans list heatmap and engagement analytics. The Free plan costs nothing and includes cloud hosting, FlowPaper branding and publishing for 90 days. Zine costs $75, paid once, Creative costs $85 a month, and Enterprise costs $995 a year. Cloud publication quotas vary by plan: Zine has 50 and Creative has 75, while the services-account FAQ lists 500 for Team and Enterprise accounts. The listed platforms include web, desktop, mobile and self-hosted options.
