Hey
BetterRed, thanks sooo much!!
In fact, it was even easier than that: I started not looking for
PDF viewers on the App Store but rather
CBZ viewers as per your tip. And voilą, I found a cool viewer that even displays PDFs out of the box – with flip animation (which was what I was after). It's called
SideBooks and made by a Japanese developer
Tatsumi-system. Free app, too.
If I may make a comment regarding all this – I feel we are at the beginning of a new DTP Desktop Publishing revolution all over again. In the beginning it was about printing to paper – that's solved since the 1980's. Now, it's about how to "print" to screen – what a mess out there with all those different formats, screen sizes, distribution platforms plus the "Text guys" living in a different world than the "Image guys."
ePub is still on my radar of course. But for image only projects, Adobe Lightroom + PDF is all you really need.
Thanks again!
P.S. I need to also clarify something: I don't want to publish my "book" – I'm a photographer who was seeking for a way to present photography in a cool way where vertical images and horizontal images appear like in a magazine.
