    • We recommend Intel based Mac machines running Mac OS X 10.4+
    • PPC (Power PC) Mac machines will not support the desktop platform due to it's lack of support of flash 10+ (see below.)

 

Browsers

Note for all browsers, because Adobe Flash is currently not supported by 64 bit browsers, you'll need to use a 32 bit browser in order for the flipbook desktop platform to function. Adobe reports they are working on a 64 bit version of Flash. (unknown release date.)
