How to Make Your Online Book Stand Out
Great content deserves great wrapping. Don’t forget about it when working on your online book, and it will be bound for success. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Optimize for mobile devices
We’re a generation glued to our—pretty small—mobile screens. If you want your readers to enjoy your content everywhere, choose larger fonts and a clear structure. Using multiple columns layout also helps, as it makes it much easier to zoom in on a specific text and read it comfortably.
By the way, clear structure, large fonts, and contrasting colors make your books more accessible, so a greater number of readers can enjoy them. Read more on accessibility guidelines and how FlippingBook helps here.
Prioritize navigation
PDFs are notoriously difficult to navigate around, but FlippingBook digital book creator improves things drastically.

FlippingBook allows you to create a table of contents from scratch: just upload your PDF to FlippingBook and make a table of contents right away with the help of our handy Table of Contents Editor. Plus, our software will automatically pull up the bookmarks from your PDF file and transform them into an interactive table of contents.
Vary your content with interactivity
Depending on the type of your content, interactive elements can just be a fun little detail or an integral part of your digital book. In any case, with a bit of interactivity, reading your book will turn into an exciting journey.
- Try videos with the author’s commentaries, interviews, or a book trailer instead of a static annotation.
- GIFs are a great way to bring life to inline illustrations.
- Pop-ups and image galleries let you add images that go beyond the standard layout and help visualize content better. Think maps or newspaper spreads.
- Add surveys and polls to get valuable insights and connect with your audience on a deeper level.
