Flipick wins the International Digital Publishing Forum 2013 Innovation Award for breakthrough self-service e-Book Production Portal
Flipick (pronounced flip ick) constitutes a self-service production portal that serves independent authors and writers as well as commercial and corporate publishing groups seeking fast, inexpensive ways of creating e-books for the expanding base of mobile readers, tablets, and smart phones.
Unlike most e-book production and conversion services, Flipick enables do-it-yourself or contracted placement of complex tables, interactive pop-ups and hotspots, interactive animations, rotating carousel of images or photos, embedded videos, and other rich-media enhancements, using quickly installed plug-ins to the user’s desktop or laptop version of Adobe InDesign. Using a simple menu selection within InDesign, users can upload their eBooks and gathered digital assets to the Flipick portal for instant processing of complex, fixed-format books, enabling users to download a draft version of most books in two to five minutes.
