Desktop or mobile? How to choose suitable magazine software for online magazine printing?

The digital technology and magazine software enable you to take any of your print magazines into customized digital version for online reading. From print to digital, you will experience the magic of the digital version that a print magazine can never provide. Back in the old days when we had only paper magazines, it was not easy for readers to access the magazines far away from other places because of the delivering constrains. However, now in the digital era, online magazine printing has made it possible for anyone to read the digital magazine from anywhere at any time. When you search "magazine software" or "digital magazine publishing" on Google, you will get hundreds of this type of software that can help you convert PDF tomagazine.

Desktop & Mobile

Now the question is not about print or digital magazine, but about compatibility of the digital magazines. In the past decade, you just needed to concentrate on the desktop users and provide them with digital magazine versions. But not now! The number of mobile users is increasing and now it's so large that it could make your perfect desktop magazine publishing strategy a big mistake. However, from another point of view, it's not a wise strategy to leave out the desktop publishing efforts. So why not combine desktop and mobile into your digital magazine publishing and make your magazines desktop and mobile compatible? In this case, I would suggest you choose Flip PDF, desktop and mobile publishing software that can publish flip book from PDF.

There are a lot of magazine design tools out there on the market, but many of them fail to cover the need to enable the digital magazine to run on mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone and Android devices. That might not be a problem if your audiences are all desktop based, which I doubt greatly. What kind of magazine you are publishing will target only at desktop users? I think none. But I do 100% percent believe that audiences of any product or service consist of both desktop and mobile users. 

Reading Experience

You won't think that you can reap the gold by making your digital magazine run on both desktop computers and mobile devices, right? That is simply the solution to deliver your magazine content; and if you want to catch the eyes of your audiences when they come across your magazine by accident, you should provide them with something exciting. Page flip animation, rich media and other interactive items are promising ways. 

With the help of magazine software, you can publish digital magazines for desktop and mobile devices, and in the meanwhile, you should make sure all the cool stuffs such as video and animation work properly and smoothly on mobile devices. Desktop devices are capable of carrying almost all digital technologies, but mobiles not. Mobile has rejected flash, so the best solution to maintain the cool effect is the use of HTML5.
