Just wondering...How was this e-Book created? See web link below and click on the book image.

http://www.issuu.com/futurepublishing/docs/macformat238

I am more interested in the interface, the turning page effect and the thumbnails that appears at the bottom of the pages. I am assuming it was intially created with a page layout program like InDesign.

I have also seen other designers create this type of on-line eBook with the same or very similar interface. And are there any decent on-line tutorials on this?

Thanks!

It's all Flash. Do a Google search for "convert PDF to Flash Flip Book."
The main drawback to Flash for e-books is lack of support.

You'll get better device support from PDF or HTML files.

All you need is a 3rd party pdf to flash page flip conversion tool to get the PDF customized to that style. InDesign won’t do this for you.
