Ourboox is the world’s simplest platform for creating and sharing page-flipping interactive ebooks.

The books are absolutely free to create, free to read and free to share (via their url) with your class, other teachers, and the world. Students love preparing their own books. We started in 2014 and already have over 160,000 titles!

“Ourboox provides a simple and friendly platform for uploading and sharing digital picture books of any genre, in any language, for free. Our page-flipping e-books are amazing! They are easy to create, easier to share.  The books can incorporate video, sound, maps and many other features.  Authors can edit their book at any time.”
