Why Pholium is different

* Pholium is designed to ensure high image quality in combination with a rich user experience, ease of use, and portability. Pholium was developed with its own e-book building and reading experiences that are unavailable in many existing book-like file-types.

* Pholium enables you to accomplish everything from digital and print book creation, image editing and management, e-book viewing, and digital and printed book distribution, all on your iPad and all within the app.

* Pholium's publishing model allows you to create as many e-books for yourself as you want for FREE, and if you want to send those books to others, Pholium makes this a seamless, wireless process with a Wi-Fi connection. Each e-book you create may be sent to up to UNLIMITED recipients for FREE.

* Pholium books can include audio captions and videos and the multimedia experience is available in printed books using QR code technology
