Open Book is a Nokia example featuring a 3D book implemented with OpenGL ES 2.0. The book can be browsed with intuitive touch gestures and it contains images retrieved from the device gallery and ads. The In-App Advertising feature is implemented by wrapping the Inneractive server API with Qt.

This example application is hosted in GitHub: https://github.com/nokia-developer/open-book

This example application demonstrates:

• Showing ads in OpenGL ES context
• Retrieving images from the phone gallery
• Optimised creation of image thumbnails
