I am using some of my post retirement time to revisit, re-evaluate, and in some cases remaster learning and writing tools. One of the tools that I recently revisited was Designrr. Below is a Flip book I created with it using as text a recent blogpost I wrote about iMovie. I still need to figure out how to embed videos though it may be as “simple” a matter as (sigh) paying more money to upgrade to a higher level.

Let’s see if putting on my new Harry Potter Wizarding World Sherpa Lined Socks helps me focus on completing some writing projects like these or whether I get cold feet!
What you tried to create an ePub or MOBI file in Designrr? I haven’t bought their service but I do envy their WYSIWYG editor.
Also, in what context do you think flip books are useful? Personally, I would always prefer to read as a regular webpage or eBook or PDF. I think they look impressive but aren’t functional.
I can see flipbooks useful for short advertisements.
I am still meandering among self-publishing software.
What is the origin of “the spacecame”???

Ya like maybe a PDF meant to emulate a image-heavy brochure. That’s a good point.
The space camel was just a silly cartoon character I invented in middle school, which was when I got the email address and have kept ever since.
Might I recommend you also try pixie book? It’s not very customizable but they do a great job of making the PDF look snazzy. I’m wanting to emulate some of their stuff but haven’t gotten around to it.
Thanks for the pixxibook suggestion. I just took a look at their webpage. It might be worth my trying it and comparing it with Pressbook and PrintMyBlog!
I have been distracted from blogging by spending a lot of time exploring LinkedIn Learning courses. I’ve learned a few new skills that may help me refocus my productivity.
