The Book

The Book turns the e-books you already own into 3D books. Hand it an EPUB, a PDF, CBZ, CBR, a wall of plain text or a folder of pictures, and it gets bound into a proper book — cover, spine, and pages you turn in a quiet reading room built for one thing only: reading.Bring your own booksThe Book ships with no books of its own — it is made for your collection.EPUB — chapters with their illustrations; pictures become full-page platesPDF — every page of the document becomes a page of the bookTXT — plain text typeset into comfortable, readable pagesCBZ, CBR — comic archives, read as an open comicHTML — saved web pages and single-file e-books, typeset into comfortable, readable pagesImage folders — scans, manuscripts and photo books3D booksPages turn like real paper — with the sound of paperVery long books are bound into several volumesEvery book remembers its page and opens exactly where you left it Reading FeaturesGuided Reading – Move the mouse to the right to move the camera along a predefined reading path from top to bottom and from left to right.
