Book - which plugin should I use

I want to make a Children book App. I have all the illustrations ready as images to use for each page. Which will be the best plugin to use from the buzztouch software. Is there some plugin that i can use to make that has a next and before arrows? Thanks!!

The images plugin. If you have each page as an image file. If you're using PDF, then of course use the PDF Plugin.

This is the plugin you will need for image files. It's very simple. Has arrows at the bottom and you can change the transitions, I think. Ok. So it costs $5, but that's not huge and being a developer does cost money. It sure does I'm afraid.

I'm in the process of making a Storybook plugin for iPad if this is what you're looking for.

why not use ibooks author. If i'm looking for a book I look in the ibooks. Plus have heard people being rejected for making books as an app when ibooks is available and they seem to be pushing this with the recent keynote. It's free and easy to use drag and drop

to be honest, I was also gojng to recommend that. I've made a few books for my school and it's super easy. Very similar to Pages. You will need a Mac. I just forgot to mention this in the other post. If you want an iOS Book - use iBooks Author! Android doesn't really have an equivilant software, so the books apps is recommended for Androd.

Getting close to submitting my first version. Then it will be in the approval queue for the plugin market.

@Sandeep - not in this case. In fact, my plugin is intended for iPad only, not just iOS only. Since a storybook is so focused on the artwork, I felt it was important to be able to keep the pixel dimensions constant.
