Hi all, does anyone know of inworld book publishing system alternative to intellibook, that can deliver a landmark on each page? I purchased the intellibook magazine factory which is fine for the book I'm writing and is a great product, however I wanted my next project to be a free magazine and wasn't really expecting after paying over 7000L$ to then have to pay a futher 70L$ for each copy I make.

Really? that's a bummer. There is another one out there Think'something' which is suppose to be pretty good and I believe after buying the full perms version you can produce as many copies as you like

Anvil, there is also the Thinc Book system, which is actually a whole lot cheaper, if not as powerful. The press is, I think, under L$1000, and blanks are L$75 each. If you have the press, you only need one blank per publication . . . and the blanks are reusable. It won't deliver a landmark, but it will deliver a notecard with an LM embedded in it. The one advantage that the Intellibook system has . . . unless Thinc Book has produced an upgrade since I last checked . . . is that you can deliver a new URL or notecard (I think) every page, whereas with the Thinc Book, you get only one per book.

But surely you can buy an Intellibook press anyway, to do this more cheaply?

ThincBook, from Thinc Technologies, I believe. I don't know its cost or capabilities though

Thanks folks, I'll check them all out and probably run with just giving one notecard per magazine with multiple LM's as you suggested.

Just bought the Hippo book, only one thing to say, superb does everything I need (gives notecard, LM, object on every page etc) and all for 750L$, plus it copies at no extra cost.
I'm both happy and sad that it is better than the intellibook lol, wish I had visited this forum first and saved my money, silly me!! Thanks again.
