What is Lumi?
Lumi is the little helper inside Magical Book Maker. Tell Lumi who the book is for and what it’s about, and Lumi writes the story and draws the pictures. You can change anything, page by page.
Will I always have access to my books?
Yes. Your books stay in your account for as long as you keep it, and reading them is always free. You can download a PDF of any book whenever you like.
Can I download my book as a PDF?
