Online flipbook: mobile-friendly reading
Half your email opens happen on a phone whether you planned for it or not. Mobile-friendly means the publication is legible without a magnifying glass, and people can turn pages without fighting the site around the viewer.
PDF Flip’s viewer is built for touch: you can swipe and drag to move through pages, not only click tiny arrows. That is table stakes for a catalog someone opens on the bus. What the viewer cannot do is invent larger type in your PDF—if the designer never checked the export at phone width, readers will still squint.
Check hardware, not only Chrome DevTools
Emulators miss friction: scroll trapping inside an iframe, thumb reach to the toolbar, how fast a page turns when LTE is weak. Borrow a mid-range Android and an older iPhone from QA; if it feels fine there, it will feel fine for a lot of your audience.
Pick a mode that fits the content
A glossy 3D flip might be perfect for a holiday lookbook. A 200-page parts list might land better in 2D flip or the vertical reader where scrolling feels natural. You can swap templates in the dashboard—same uploaded PDF, different reading style.

Open examples on your phone before you publish—if something feels off, fix it before the campaign goes out.
