E-Book Systems Chosen to Create Breakaway Adventures Digital Brochures

    SANTA CLARA, CA, January 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- E-Book Systems, creator of the patented Digital Flip(R) e-publishing technology, announces that Breakaway Adventures has adopted its 3-D page-flipping FlipViewer(R) Xpress viewer format for its online brochures.

Breakaway Adventures specializes in self-guided walking and cycling tours in Europe.

"We chose FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software because it's very user-friendly and cost effective. The customer service was excellent and we can get the project up and running quickly." said Carol Keskitalo, Operations Manager of Breakaway Adventures.

With E-Book Systems' FlipViewer(R) Xpress solution, readers can go to www.breakaway-adventures.com and browse through the digital editions of the HeadWater's Europe 2010 Guides. In a matter of moments, readers can view the digital brochures just as they would appear in print -- with real "flipping" pages and more.

"We have received many positive comments regarding the created FlipBook from our clients." said Carol. 'Our previous system was cumbersome with long download times - so far, we have received no complaints about the ease of download (a frequent problem in the past!)"

In addition to the ease of use advantages offered by the technology, Breakaway Adventures' digital brochures allow for the ability to reach more international readers. Due to the higher postage costs for international readers to receive the printed version, the digital edition provides them with a low-cost alternative for receiving the brochures.

"Some of our vendors have asked for your name - as they would like to offer a similar service to their readers." added Carol.

E-Book Systems' FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software enables publishers and corporations to create and publish realistic page-flipping digital publications ("FlipBooks") easily with just a few mouse clicks. The created FlipBook can then be hosted on any web server for online viewing or distributed through any media (e.g. CD, thumb drive, etc.) for offline viewing. The software accepts any PDF, image and Flash documents as inputs. In addition, multimedia elements like audio and video files can be incorporated into the FlipBook to enhance readers' experience. E-Book Systems' Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution safeguards content providers' intellectual properties.
