This is the third flip book that I have created. These flip books were specifically written only for the eyes of my close friends and family. A flipbook is different from a regular e-book in that the author can embed audio directly into the e-book.
Note: If you are using a windows device, an audio will automatically begin to play after 4-5 seconds on this page. To turn the audio on and off, scroll down two paragraphs to the book and click on the sound (speaker) icon that appears between the little bitty man’s knees, or simply just mute the sound on your computer, or turn the e-book page away from the cover page.
This flip book works on all three of my devices with a caveat. Although the standalone version works perfectly on my Windows laptop, the webpage version of the software has issues. The 65 embedded (some tongue-in-cheek) audios with animation do not play upon opening the site with either chrome or safari. One exception is that the intro audio does play with chrome on my laptop. (This also means that you will not see the little bitty man, Moe Chandler). I cannot comment about android devices as I no longer have one available for testing.
Here is my new Flip Book titled Staying Relevant With Brain Engaged. Enjoy!
This is how I recommend viewing this flip book!
Laptop: 1). First, make it full-screen by right-clicking your mouse anywhere on the flip book. Now, select full-screen from the drop down menu that appears.
If the sound is toggled to the on position, the audio will begin playing. It will continue to play as long as you remain on the front cover. Once you turn the page to page 2, it will stop. Returning to the front page will start the audio again.
2). Six menu options should now appear on the left side of the screen along with the page navigation at the top of the screen. On the left side of the screen from top to bottom, the options are thumbnails, toggle for zoom, sound, search, share, auto flip, and exit full screen. As stated earlier, page navigation appears at the top of the screen.
Listen to all 65 of the audios below
iPad: I suggest viewing this flip book in portrait mode and following these instructions. 1). Tap on the middle bottom of the page to open the menu. This menu appearing at the bottom of the screen includes six symbols (icons). From left to right they are thumbnails, toggle for page navigation, zoom-in, sound, search function, and toggle for auto flip. At the top right of screen are buttons for sharing and help. Hint: The second button from the left brings up the page navigation menu. Tap that button again when ready to close the page navigation menu.
Listen to all 65 of the audios below.
iPhone: I suggest viewing this flip book in portrait mode and following these instructions. 1) Tap on “click to view in full screen”. 2). Follow the instructions above for iPad.
Listen to all 65 of the audios below.
As previously stated, most readers, unfortunately, will not be able to view the animation of the little bitty man, Moe Chandler; however, everyone can listen to all 63 embedded audios below.
