Calameo is a publishing platform for digital magazines, interactive publications and online catalogs. Instead of printed books, magazines and newsletters, digital publishing allows for the creation of e-books, blog posts and online publications. Readers access this content from their computers, smartphones or other digital devices.
Calameo fosters self-publication. This will help you with visibility and reach, allowing you to receive feedback and improve your work inexpensively. In addition to this, you will contribute to the advances of knowledge on your field in a more environmentally friendly way.
