Ourboox is a free online platform for creating and sharing ebooks that incorporate text, images, videos, puzzles, maps and quizzes. The Ourboox platform enables users to add text in any language that is compatible with html5, to add artwork in jpeg, png, or gif formats, and to embed various media content from other websites, e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and others. A unique feature of Ourboox is the use of a page-flipping script, which emulates printed books. This feature is suited for either direction of reading – right-to-left and left-to-right.
