yBook is an excellent online tool that you can use to easily prepare a professional and unique publication in the form of an interactive book.
This integrated set of tools enables users to convert textbooks, workbooks, magazines, newsletters, product lists, charts, leaflets and more, automatically from PDF format to an interactive book. It also gives a unique possibility of enriching publications with additional multimedia resources (images, animations, movies , sounds and many more).
Now, with an annual licence, you can get full access, which allows you to benefit from all options of the yBook. It is simpler than ever!
Each type of activity requires an appropriate and well-prepared presentation, creating an outstanding visual impression in the memory. With the modern and intuitive solution that yBook offers, it is now possible! You can present your content online and offline – for example by using the whiteboard.
Convert your textbooks' PDFs into interactive digital resources
Use fully automated, one-click conversion to make all your publications digital.
YDP introduces an ingenious solution that enables a completely automated process for creating interactive books. All that needs to be done is to provide a suitable PDF file and, after uploading the content onto the server, everything is done automatically. After all tasks have been completed, the user will be notified by e-mail with a link to the ready-made interactive publication, which can be used both online and offline!
It really is that simple! (The diagram below illustrates the process.)
You need only three steps to convert your PDF into an interactive book:
Link interactive content to your digital textbook
Connect images, animations, movies, sounds, interactive activities and many more...
YDP always tries to offer innovative and bright ideas. We believe our new ‘hotspots’ concept raises your digital publication to a higher interactivity level, giving you the possibility to enrich a traditional textbook. After automatic PDF conversion you can use the easy and intuitive online graphical editor to enrich your publication with additional resources, such as pictures, audio files, animation, video and even interactive activities created with our sister product yAuthor.com All you have to do is simply choose the type of resource you would like to place on a page and drag it with the mouse to the active area to create a hotspot, which will be a clickable active shape on your product. The diagram below illustrates this simple activity.
