Is there any tool/recomendation to implement interactive e-reader/flipbook for editorial in AEM

Hi 

You can achieve this using many Jquery plugins.

Link:- http://www.jqueryrain.com/2012/12/best-jquery-page-flip-book-effect-with-examples/ and http://webresourcesdepot.com/5-free-jquery-page-flip-plugins-for-book-like-interfaces/

Community article showing, how to create a custom component which is using 3rd party JavaScript and DAM assets to make it use as carousel :- https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/custom-carousel-components.html

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

It would be easier for us to explore options if you could be more specific to your requirement. Do you really want something similar to flipbook?.

There are a lot of Javascript libraries who could help you build a pdf as slideshows.

Agreed this would be implemented as a JQuery Plugin within AEM.

We have many articles showing you how to use JQuery within AEM. For example:

Basically as editorial they have to leverage his current flipbook implementation.

Current Workflow

• Content is prepare in InDesign or other external app (base html5, css)
• All content is exported into intermidiate CMS for certain pre-process (NON AEM, it's a java base OLD CMS)
• Then In this CMS,  The author configure all stuff related with FLIPbook(like text, high light, etc, and so on). I know that too manual!!!!
• Then thru api en RoR, read everything for that  CMS, expose xml/json configuration thru RoR API
• Finally the flipbook  player  - WEB o app(Android, IoS) mobile consume those xml/json to shown the ebook and all behaviour. The desktop version is base on flash and the android is base on html5

Important thing:

• There is not configuration  in AEM
• InDesign export process is not defined to make easier the integration with AEM
• No Authoring process is defined yet
• There is not restriction to build Flipbook inside AEM as component/player or outside
• The new player must be support Ecommerce integration
• The new player must be support authoring in AEM or any other configuration
• Segmentation is nice to have
