What are Digital Web Books?

Digital Web Books are 3D page turning digital manuals.

Digital Web Books differ from past attempts to bring the look and feel of a book or catalogue to the web in that they are portable, small in file size, and they actually emulate physical publications, with the added advantage of a simple point and click navigation. The simplicity continues. To turn the page forward, you click on the right side of the page to turn it back you click on the left side of the page. What could be simpler? No more waiting for each page to be downloaded and you can keep them saved in your folders for future reference.

Digital Web Books are truly amazing! You really need to see it to believe it.
