I remember this from Code Share. I haven’t tried it or anything. But presumably you want to add multiple images and flip through them? http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/better-slideview

Actually if you go to Code Share under User interface and search the page for ‘slide’ you will find multiple things like that:

i’ts great, but still it’s just a slide view, 

i’m talking about somthing like a book that can be used to actualy peel the pages,

I don’t believe that is currently possible as it would mean manipulating the perspective of the image. However that possibility should be just around the corner with Graphics 2.0 if I’m not mistaken.

Like Jon mentioned, page turn effects are probably coming in the near future, but should that be something that stops your progress? Millions of Kindle owners read tens of millions of Kindle ebooks – and none of those books have a page turning effect. 

If your content is good, will people really whine that the pages don’t “turn?” And if your content is bad, no amount of “eye-candy” will help it anyway. :slight_smile:

Maybe something to think about.
