Table of contents
“What is a flipbook and what can I use it for?”, you may ask. A flipbook is a digital version of a physical book, magazine, or brochure, with the addition of interactive elements and media, such as videos, links and GIFs. Flipbooks are not just limited to businesses - there are many other ways you can use them, especially during this digital era where everyone is behind their screens.
Last year, schools, businesses and many individuals, in different parts of the world, suddenly had to turn into digital wizards. We like to think that this was the rare case where the quote “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” was used by the whole world, simultaneously. No matter your industry or role - flipbooks can be a great, versatile, digital tool.
Below, we’ve outlined 5 cool ways in which you can use flipbooks, and we’ve also mentioned some of their key benefits!

Flipbooks are a perfect solution to remote teaching because they are secure, easy to use and trackable. After all, who wouldn’t want to keep an eye on how students are interacting with the educational content?
With Paperturn’s software, you can also create private publications, meaning that users will have to insert the username and password that you set to be able to access the flipbook. This adds an extra sense of security, and ensures that only your students can access your school’s material.
Our flipbooks are also 100% accessible, meaning that anyone can use them. Our Disability Interface Tool enables anyone to instantly adjust your online flipbook's UI, design and readability to meet their individual needs.
