Uberflip

Uberflip (formerly Mygazines) is a digital publishing software and interactive marketing software provider.

The company's system converts a PDF into a page-flipping digital EDition, with the option to enhance with links, videos and other features. The backend allows content owners to distribute, secure, monetize and track publications. Different aspects of the publication can be customized and branded.

As a technology company, Uberflip developed in February 2010 the first browser-based platform for accessing publications on mobile devices (including desktops, laptops and mobile devices) The third version of the platform, Mobile 3.0, was launched in December 2010 and aimed to create an app-like reading experience for publications without the need to access via an application store. Users simply access mobile editions via the same URL they would use on a desktop.

History
