In January, we decided to focus on delivering more value in our software and opening new channels of revenue for our news publishing customers. This month we've taken a big step in that direction with our "digital editions" (PDF Page Flipper) feature and a new online classifieds module built to drive revenue and keep visitors engaged on your website.

The Bondware Page Flipper boasts the following features:
-

-
Protect your digital editions behind a paywall
-
Accessible on desktop, tablet and mobile
