"Another scam document presentation program"
Version: Issuu
Pros
File storage. That's all it is.
Cons
These guys must be taking a leaf out of the deceptive "Docstoc, DocShots" book. Issuu claims to have a "Smartlook" feature, yet, if you look at their forum complaints about it NOT existing at all. Issuu still continues to ignore customers for support
Summary
Its a scam, same as Docstoc, only Docstoc now admits in their FAQ that their fake "preview" feature doesn't work. Don't expect any support.

"Stolen content found online, ISSUU refuses to remove it"
Version: Issuu
Pros
I wouldn't know.
Cons
No way of resolving issues regarding stolen online content appearing on their site.
Summary
I wrote a piece of fiction and posted it in Scribd, copyrighted. Some shmuck posted it on ISSUU as his. I have told ISSUU over and over and they refuse to do anything about it. The email address they gave me to send a "formal" complaint to doesn't work.
It is unacceptable to allow stolen content on the site. Period. The way they have not handled this problem is unacceptable. -
"Cool effect. Needs more availability."
Version: Issuu
Pros
+ best page flipping effect I've seen!
+ cool ways to embedd the viewer on your website (see: http://magma.nsol.pl )
+ it's fresh and new, most of our readers haven't seen anything like that before
+ free and hosted, no software to installCons
- needs flash
- page flipping effect doesn't work smoothly on some systems
- can't copy the text to clipboard
- can't read with screen reader
- whole website is flash-heavy
- no linking to speciffic pages
- no searchin inside a documentSummary
I've used it to publish magma magazine: http://magma.nsol.pl
Flash browser is no problem as we publish also plain'ol PDF files.
Page flipping effect emphased that this is a online version of printed magazine. -
"Incredible, not other word for it"
Version: Issuu
Pros
This is by far the best viewer I've seen - including the ones you pay top dollar for! Vector graphic, full screen view (the only place I've seen this). And it's free. Free! They also have a neat community where you have your own library with stuff for your and from your friends. Truly uniqe.
Cons
I am a business owner and would like to customize a bit - even if it means paying for it. But I'm sure this is something they are working on. Currently I am using the standard package and have see a lot of additional traffic to my site because of Issue.
