Sometimes you just want to vent to a community of like minded people, and possibly hear what others have to say, especially during or after an unfortunate situation.

Maybe another question to ask is, "What exactly are you trying to achieve with this product?"

The "Youtube of Flipbooks" tagline makes no sense. It's not really clear what this is trying to express.

The term "flipbooks" also seems to be misused. That term already refers to printed books with pictures that differ slightly from one page to the next. Rapidly flipping through the pages ends up rendering a crude animation. The term "flipbook" is also sometimes used to describe books aimed at children where there's a flap of paper or cardboard that can be flipped up to reveal some image or text underneath. Trying to add a new meaning only leads to confusion.

And while I understand it's still a work in progress, the experience is not very good. Even with a large desktop monitor and a fullscreen browser window, scrolling is required to view the complete pages. The page flipping is also rather distracting. And the content available so far is not very enticing, I'm afraid to say. The low-quality images used in some of the books does not help.

So I have a hard time seeing what value this site provides. The freely available content isn't very appealing, and the reading experience itself is very poor. If the experience won't attract and keep users, then it's unlikely that publishers will be interested. If publishers aren't interested, then users will additionally not be interested. And both of those factors will, of course, directly impact the potential profitability of such a venture.

I think that every aspect of this offering needs to be reworked, unfortunately. Which leads me back to the original question, "What exactly are you trying to achieve with this product?"
