## What it is
turn.js is a jQuery plugin that adds a realistic page flip transition effect to HTML content, simulating a book or magazine. It supports touch devices, dynamic page creation, single/double page display, zoom, and CSS3/hardware-accelerated animations.

- your project already uses jQuery
- you need touch support for flipbooks on mobile devices

## When to avoid
- you need a modern framework-native (React/Vue) component
- your project is commercial and cannot comply with the non-commercial BSD license
