A Turn Page Article Experiment, Please Participate - by Flood1

The above snapshot is from a technical article that I have written, F1 Fuel Tanks 2010. I have choosen to put this article on an experimental "turn-page" format. Click on the link below to see it.

Some instructions:

When the page comes up, immediately look up to the top left side of the Issuu page and click on "full screen." Don't look to your search engine menu bars, but just look at the Issuu program menu bars on their screen.

Once that "full screen" view comes up, turn the page by clicking the margins to the right of the page to turn to the next two-page spread. To go backwards, click the margin to the left of the page. The technology is a bit dodgy, I know that myself, and that's why I have suggested this procedure. If you explore the technology, you may find a better approach.

If you click on the page, it will zoom. You then need to drag the thing around like you do on any PDF page. This format is based on PDF technology.

Works perfectly for me. I view GPWeek.com's online magazine the same way with no problems. I personally prefer the Paper View.

Works perfectly for me.After a bit of fiddling with zoom controls,even I, the most useless technophobe in existence could use it.

Interesting article as well.

F1aroo, "Secondly, the fuel tank can be 'no than' 300mm forward" should have read - "no more than 300mm forward."

I'll fix it later, I just have to do about 50 things to go from word to PDF to turn page, lol.

Honestly, takes a LONG time to load, memory heavy, a complete fail on the iPhone, which is where I read most of my racing content. It works, but I won't read any more articles that way if I can help it.

Thanks Joel. I tried it with my iphone and had the same problem. I don't intend to put posts only on that format, and I will put the fuel tank article on the regular format later tonight. That way you can use your phone if you see something you want to read.
It loads pretty well on my PC and is a little easier on my old eyes with the large fonts.

What I was think of doing was compiling several blog articles in a turn-page format every couple of weeks just for the hell of it.

Interesting article. The viewer worked great for me, and this particular viewer is very intuitive. However, I am not a fan of online books and magazines in this format. I prefer to scroll through them in the familiar website format. But, that's just a personal preference of mine.

I appreciate the feedback everyone. I will put all content in the normal webpage format. I suspect I will compile the blogs rountinely into a magazine after they have been included here. I will probably provide a button link on the menu bar.
