With Myebook users can create their own e-book from scratch or PDF, incorporate a myriad of file types into their books, drag-and-drop assets, browse and effortlessly flip through other e-books, and connect with other members.
The e-book creation process would kick serious butt if it were able to plug into all media types across popular cloud storage services and social networks, but as is users can grab photos from their Facebook, Flickr, 23, Bebo, Photobucket, and Picasa accounts, as well as bulk upload most file types (including audio and video) to galleries and drag and drop content from galleries onto pages. One thing to keep in mind is that users will need to link each service to their account before creating their e-book.
When it comes to page and asset management, however, users will be impressed at the quantity of options and how they can customize the layout and content of the page to their liking. Page content can be edited with standard word processing features, so users have complete control over text and object formating. Plus, Myebook comes with a myriad of existing assets like photo frames, clip art, and special effects to spruce up your content with their creations.
Once done building their book, Myebook members can publish it publicly or privately, and specify whether viewers can add comments or share their work. Once published, the e-book will be added to the site's library, and publishers and readers can share it across social networks or embed it elsewhere.
Myebook viewers can interact with the book by adding comments, flipping through or browsing pages, saving screen grabs, subscribing to changes, sending to friends, or searching content.
Without creating our own full-length book, it's hard to say whether Myebook would be good as a professional tool for self-publishing written content. We do, however, think that it's an impressive service with a variety of use cases — a fancy photo album to name just one. The only downside of the application is the wealth of features available might over-complicate the user experience and intimidate new users.
