What is a digital ebook?
A digital ebook is a book published in a digital format and read on a computer, tablet, phone or e-reader. It can be a static PDF, a downloadable EPUB or Kindle file, or a browser based ebook.
Flipsnack creates the browser based kind: an interactive digital ebook that keeps your page design, opens with no download, and carries videos, links and lead forms.
It suits marketing teams building lead generation ebooks and sales departments creating training ebooks. Medical professionals use it to share patient education resources.
Turn your ebook into a powerful marketing asset
Establish yourself as an industry expert with an interactive ebook creator built for marketing teams. Stand out from competitors by adding videos, links, and interactive charts to boost engagement. With Flipsnack, your interactive ebooks work as marketing assets instead of attachments.
How to create an ebook in 5 steps
An online ebook maker built for business teams lets you create an ebook online, update it, and share it from one platform. That saves your marketing team time on ebook creation, updates, and distribution.
Create ebook from PDF1. Upload eBook PDF or create from scratch
Upload your existing PDF, PowerPoint or JPG to Flipsnack's ebook creator and turn it into an interactive digital ebook. You can also start from scratch or choose a professional ebook template.
2. Design and brand your digital ebook
Engage your audience by adding videos, links and forms in the drag and drop ebook editor. Then customize the ebook design and layout with your logo, color palette and fonts for consistent branding.
3. Transform digital ebooks into gated content
Collect user data and turn engaged readers into contacts with editable lead forms. Leave the first ebook pages open, then gate the rest behind an editable lead form. Readers who want the full content share their details first, so your teams get contacts instead of anonymous views.
4. Share your marketing ebook publicly or privately
Share marketing ebooks via email, website embeds, or QR codes. Decide who sees your marketing ebook: set it to public, unlisted, password locked or private. Share it by link, email, QR code or website embed, and restrict access to confidential digital ebooks.
5. Track engagement and optimize ebook content
Track how readers engage with each page of your digital ebook through views, clicks and time spent. Use that data to optimize weak pages, update the content in real time, and republish it under the same link.
Discover ebook templates for every industry
Flipsnack's customizable ebook templates help businesses publish digital ebooks faster. Choose an ebook design template by purpose, from a lead magnet to a training handbook, then adjust the layout and typography. Templates are ready to edit for healthcare, corporate training and real estate.
