SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- E-Book Systems, the leader in Digital Flip(R) online publishing technology, announces today that national publication The CPA Technology Advisor has adopted its 3-D page flipping format for its online publication. For the first time, The CPA Technology Advisor can now offer its readers with the ability to view the online publication the same way they would the print version - with all the same text, design and advertisements with page flipping ability and the look of a real magazine.

Published by Cygnus Business Media, The CPA Technology Advisor is designed to simplify software and technology purchasing decisions for public accounting firms. It has earned a loyal readership by maintaining editorial independence and integrity with valuable reviews, columns from industry leaders and user-oriented features in every issue.

Now, with E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) technology, readers can go to www.cpatechadvisor.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 few moments, readers can view the magazine online just as it appears in the printed version.

"E-Book Systems makes it so simple for us to provide our readers with the convenience of enjoying digital issues of our magazine," says Shari Dodgen publisher of The CPA Technology Advisor. "All we have to do is give E-Book the PDF files of the original print edition, and they take care of the rest of the conversion process. Their technology and excellent customer service saves us a lot of time and money."

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.
