Interactive eBook Design That Turns Content Into Experiences

Your white paper, research report or buyer guide already holds the ideas. We make it something people want to explore.

Studio Vektor redesigns PDFs and long-form content as interactive digital publications: reading paths for skimmers and deep readers, read-aloud narration, quizzes and assessments, calculators, live charts and progress tracking. Strategy, design, content structure, animation and development come from one studio.

What is an interactive eBook?

An interactive eBook is a long-form publication (a report, white paper, guide or playbook) built as a responsive web page instead of a fixed PDF. It keeps the original text and figures, and adds structure and tools that let readers explore the content: reading paths, narration, calculators, assessments, quizzes and charts they can filter.

It reads well on any screen

The layout reflows for phones, tablets and desktops. No pinching and zooming through print columns.

Readers do something with it

They calculate their own numbers, assess where they stand or test a finding, which is what makes content memorable and persuasive.

You learn what was used

Analytics show which chapters were read and which tools were used, not just that a file was downloaded.

Why businesses use them

The same content, working harder at the moments that matter.

All items are interactive editions of reports and guides published by the companies named: the text and figures are theirs; the reading experience, interactions and build are by Studio Vektor. They are independent portfolio demonstrations, not commissioned by, affiliated with or endorsed by those companies. Each opens the live edition in a new tab.

More than an eBook. An experience.

The features below are the building blocks. Each publication gets the ones that suit its content, its readers and what you want them to do next.

Examples of what can be built. Not every edition includes every capability. Starting prices cover the published scope (Starter from $635, Advanced with a quiz or assessment from $1,170); narration, CRM connections and custom tools are scoped separately.

How it works. From your file to a live link.

You see a working edition early, not static mockups, and nothing is built until you approve a written scope and price.

Questions about interactive eBooks.

Something else? Email it and you’ll get a direct reply.

What can you turn into an interactive eBook?

Most long-form business content: white papers, research and survey reports, buyer guides, playbooks, annual and impact reports, executive guides and product brochures. If it exists as a PDF, slide deck, document or web pages, it can be restructured for the screen.

Do we need to write new content?

Usually not. Most editions are built from the text and figures you already have; we restructure them into sections, add short summaries where they help, and turn tables and figures into interactive elements. New writing or research can be scoped if you need it.

Which interactions should our eBook have?

The ones that serve your readers and your goal. A research report often benefits from live charts and a quick-read path; a buyer guide from a self-assessment or vendor scorecard; an ROI story from a calculator. We recommend a short list in the scope, rather than adding every feature.

Can it read the content aloud?

Yes. Read-aloud with highlighted text can use the reader’s own device voice, as in several of the examples, or recorded narration. Narration isn’t included in the starting prices and is scoped separately.

Can it capture leads or connect to our CRM?

A lead form or gated section can be added, delivered to your email or form service. Connections to a CRM or marketing-automation platform depend on the system and are scoped separately.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

A Starter edition (up to 12 sections) typically takes 3–5 days once content is ready and starts at $635. An Advanced edition (up to 25 sections with a quiz or assessment) typically takes about 1 week and starts at $1,170. You get a written scope, timeline and fixed price first.

Start with what you already have

Have a report, guide or white paper sitting in a PDF?

Turn it into an interactive digital experience that captures attention, communicates complex ideas and gives your audience something to do, not just something to read.
