I have the flipping book icon on my facebook page and have applied to the many author websites I am part of, and also use as my e-mail signature. I have had many e-mails from people who have gotten an e-mail from me asking about the product. I love it and I am sure it has helped me sell many copies of my book Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male. Thanks for helping us llittle guys get started.

Again, please contact me on vikram@freado.com and we'll attempt to get things sorted for you offline. Thanks Again, Vikram Narayan CEO www.bookbuzzr.com / www.freado.com Free, Online Book-Marketing Technology for Authors Hi Hamish,

I'm afraid to say it looks awful there. The text on the flippable preview pages looked pixellated, and the page had two zoom settings: too close or too small. I deleted my book from the site, as I don't want to do anything to frustrate readers, and was unhappy to discover that I'm not allowed to delete my account from the site. So my verdict is that this is a promising idea, and I admire that the business model isn't based on the usual scheme of enticing authors to pay for the hope of being discovered, but the execution doesn't work for me.
