Why it is wise to use Triobo digital publishing

There is no technical knowledge required to start publishing, handy graphic designer can handle it. The rate of interactivity and design is not limited by technical capabilities of Triobo, but only the purpose and design capabilities of publisher. Triobo can handle any design, publisher is not limited by preset templates.

Regarding the web option your digital publication, is adapted to provide reading comfort that is identical with specialized tablet publication – see e.g. www.epikure.cz or read.skylink.cz. When user opens publication from web browser on tablet or smartphone, he may flip through it in similar way, by dragging the finger (depending on equipment of your device). Additionally, the phone or a tablet version may be also offered depending on used device type (publisher may also offer phone version e.g. Epikure has it).

Why corporate publications digitally

    When talking about applications for tablets and smartphones, then statistics work even without access to the Internet (the collected data are sent to the server later when a user connects to the network)

How to approach digital publishing

Regardless of technology platform: in most cases, it is necessary to convert the publication into a form suitable for device display – simply you need to make a special layout, that is derived from the print form. The reason is clear – reading a three column PDF on (e.g.) phone display is exhausting.

It is understood that when you make a digital layout correctly, it is not necessary to make a separate versions for phones and tablets – it is sufficient when reader turns his phone horizontally (landscape) when reading. See for example 100+1 (made in Triobo) – download link for Apple.

In relation to Triobo: you can try digital publishing for FREE (without signing any contract or using credit card), just register at www.triobo.com. The publisher may download his work to his tablet into a special – Triobo Reader – application without any costs. This alows publishers or advertisers to proof preview any work before actual publishing. Only when the client is happy and wants to publish the work publiclyin Apple Appstore / Google Play / Windows Store, under his own brand, only then we sit together and speak about contract and finances, until that time it is completely FREE and without any obligations.
