Frozen Food Age Magazine Adopts E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) Technology For Its Online Publication; Readers Can Now Click on Free Download to View Entire Publication in a Dynamic, 3-D Page-Flipping Format

Posted on: Wednesday, 27 July 2005, 09:00 CDT

E-Book Systems, the leader in Digital Flip(R) online publishing technology, announces today that another Cygnus Business Media publication, Frozen Food Age, has adopted its 3-D page-flipping format for its online publication. For the first time, Frozen Food Age can now offer its readers the ability to view the online publication the same way they would the print version - with all the same text, design and advertisements, page-flipping ability and the look of a real magazine.

Frozen Food Age reaches a critical subset of the grocery market consisting of frozen and refrigerated food retailers, wholesalers, brokers, manufacturers and managers of public refrigerated warehouses and refrigerated rail/truck lines. It targets decision-makers and buyers within the vital $22 billion frozen food industry and holds a dominant leadership position within its category.

Now, with E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) technology, readers can go to www.frozenfoodage.com and automatically download the FlipViewer(R), Mac FlipViewer(R) or use the FlipViewer Browser Version to read the digital issues of the magazine. In a matter of moments, readers can view the entire magazine just as it appears in the printed version, with real "flipping" pages.

"The digital issues created by E-Book Systems lets our readers enjoy some of the conveniences of modern technology, while still using the familiar 'page flip' model they've become accustomed to using with printed issues," says Christopher Westman, publisher of Frozen Food Age. "With these electronic editions, they're able to perform keyword searches, click on links shown in articles and advertisements as well as copy and paste information into another document. It brings a lot of added value to our readers' experience with the magazine."

E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) technology, used in conjunction with FlipViewer(R), Mac FlipViewer(R) and FlipViewer(R) Browser Version, turns printed publications into an online, multimedia-enhanced 3-D page-flipping format. The company can convert any PDF, Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Word and HTML files into its patented online page-flipping format. The publications remain online after they are downloaded, which allows readers to click on links on pages and advertisements. The Digital Flip technology can incorporate a variety of multimedia elements, like MID, WAV and MP3 files, to enhance the publication. E-Book Systems' Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution safeguards content providers' intellectual properties.
