Editors' Review

Easy to use and free, FlipViewer's major downside is it lacks support for sharing. Photo albums you create mimic those you'd find in the real world, including pages that turn and bookmarks that sit between pages. Creating albums is as simple as selecting a folder of images and tweaking the resulting preview pages. An index and table of contents ensures you won't get lost even in the largest album. FlipViewer also functions as a Web browser and will also let you read other types of documents. Due to the program's design and animated page turns, it does tend to take up a lot of memory when running in the background. But as long as you're running a newer PC, this freebie's versatility makes it worth at least a look.

Developer's Description

By E-Book Systems
Flip through pages in 3D with this e-book viewer and Web browser.

FlipViewer lets you read flip books--photo albums, e-books, catalogs, magazines, comics, and Web pages--created in the Open E-Book Package Format (OPF). Using patented technology, FlipViewer presents multipage documents in a realistic 3D-book format, with pages you can flip--a more natural and intuitive interface than scrolling. The book paradigm, with visual cues such as thickness, is an easier way to browse long, multipage documents. You also can add customizable markers for individual pages, set the flipping speed, and play embedded audio or video. FlipViewer supports the streaming of online content--while you read a page, the subsequent pages will be downloaded--to minimize the waiting time.

Version 4.2.1 adds support for streaming WMV.
