(L-R) EBS CEO Richard Wan, GM of EBS China Jason Zhang and CDI CEO Itzhak Levit

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL, November 16 2010 – CDI Systems and E-Book Systems joined forces for a combined presence at this year’s DPAP show in Beijing, China. Mr Richard Wan, E-Book Systems’ CEO, was a key note speaker at the show. On the strength of the advantage of modern high-tech information technology and on the basis of traditional publishing industry, digital publishing in China has moved into the rapid development stage by virtue of the vigorous support from the government as well as the active promotion by the enterprises within the industry. Chinese digital publishing industry has registered output of RMB53 billion by the end of 2008, with a year-on-year increase of 46.42%.

CDI Systems and E-Book Systems, with their HQ in Singapore, are already partnering in a joint venture project under the auspies of the SIIRD (the Singapore Israel Institute for Research and Development) (See June 1st Press Release). Now, both companies have teamed up to market the NetIS engine into the rapidly expanding Asian ePublishing industry.

“The only way to successfully reach a market thousands of miles away from home,” said Mr. Levit, “is to have outstanding partners like E-Book Systems. They know our market and they understand our technology.”

“We have been operating in China for the past seven years with representatives in Hong Kong and Taiwan as well. We not only know the market well but also the people who make things happen. We have done business with them and have earned their trust and confidence through working with them in all these years,” commented Mr Wan. “Based on the ground feedback, we think NetIS is the right technology to introduce to the Chinese market at this opportune time. We’re glad to have found a good partner like CDI Systems which offers this excellent technology. CDI Systems and E-Book Systems’ joint participation in this very important show demonstrates our commitment to offer the best technological solution to help our Chinese customers in their business.”

“We have tried several different products to create digital flipbooks but yours is able to create a much more realistic digital publication than the competitor products could. Our current book is very large and we did experience crashing issues with the competitor software products. Small books were no problem for any of the software solutions but FlipViewer® Xpress Creator was the only product that could reliably and consistently create large digital books.

I like many of the features of your product such as flexible source file types as input, customizable controls and background, output as self-extractable EXE, Auto-flipping, easy-to-use magnification and so on. Your product is also much better supported than other competitive products we tested. Overall, the FlipViewer® Xpress Creator provides the most pleasing output and options for digital book generation. I am very pleased with the results and strongly recommend FlipViewer® Xpress Creator from E-Book Systems.”

“What I like about FlipViewer® Xpress is that it is easy to use. Most of my customers like the simplicity of just flipping through a book instead of navigating through web pages. Therefore, your software did help us achieving what we set out to do – to publish books like catalogs on web and to eliminate the need to navigate the web. In a word, we are all looking for simplicity. There are many other flip book software, but yours comes on top for its ease to use. I have tried several other software, but I gave it up after a while.”

“We have been trying out FlipViewer Xpress here at pokerlistings.com – guide to the best online poker sites and it’s a great and interactive piece of software that have a lot of useful features. Great work and these type of software solutions is truly the future of viewing websites.”

“We searched for an easy and economical solution to an electronic flip catalog to post on our website for a new product line. FlipCity’s website was easy to use and allowed us to sample a flip catalog before we purchased it. We liked the service so much that we produced all three of our catalogs in a flip format and plan to update them often and add more as well. This is an economical way for us to keep our customers up to date with our latest products. Our customers love these catalogs and comment on them often.”

“Being the No.1 broadband promotion company and as a result of searching for the brand new style of the company bulletin for the new era, Softbank adopted the highly evaluated FlipBook technology that has the multimedia capability, the power of expression and the interface that is said to be the ‘Epoch-making computer book in a broadband age’.”

“With high speed broadband we remove the obstacle that has traditionally prevented end users and authors from enjoying and providing multimedia rich content. This integrates especially well with E-Book Systems’ Digital Flip® technology which further enhances the multimedia rich content by packaging it within a 3D realistic page-flipping book interface. I have high expectations that Digital Flip® technology will contribute much to the proliferation of rich media broadband content.”

“As SOFTBANK gets more involved in the e-publishing market, market research and consumer feedback have reflected a strong preference for ebooks to be delivered in highly interactive, multimedia content. Book as a media has been enjoyed by people of all ages from seniors to small children because of its high comfort level and familiarity. Digital Flip® technology uses the book interface and packages text, pictures, audio, video, and hyperlinks into one smooth multimedia experience. SBMM is confident that as broadband use becomes more widespread across the world, many more Digital Flip® products will emerge to revolutionize the e-publishing industry by its ability to deliver multimedia content to users in the broadband environment.”

“After 18 years of dominating newsstands sales, we felt it important to continue our growth in the internet arena. Our alliance with E-Book™ Systems has enabled us to take our tangible magazines and develop a successful virtual online version. We have already experienced incredible feedback from our audience, and there’s no doubt that consumers hunger for such technology. We are confident that all magazine catalogs, and printed literature will head in this direction.”

“We wanted to offer something different to our readers, and putting the magazine online in this format enabled us to provide them with a multimedia experience unlike any other paintball magazine. We chose E-Book Systems’ technology because of all the extra elements it has allowed us to incorporate into publishing our digital issues. Since introducing the digital issues, the reader response has been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve seen the numbers for our online subscriptions growing steadily, with a 100% increase in online subscriptions since this option was introduced in the beginning of 2007. In addition to the advantages we are able to offer our advertisers with the digital editions, the possibilities for creating new ways to entertain and educate our readers are endless. We’re planning to include video clips to accompany certain articles, for example a video of a paintball tournament to go along with a story on that tournament or videos of products being tested to accompany product reviews.”

“As a publisher, I’m absolutely sold on your software. It’s the future of publishing, happening right NOW! We have been very pleased with the service and the constant upgrading that you folks undertake. It is this attention to an ever changing digital race that excites us and I’m glad that we have taken all our publications via your e-zine route. More power to you!”

“It was the easiest and most effective way to send a catalog to potential customers. We sent our catalogs to over 350,000 potential customers for $100. For us was the deal of the Century. I am hooked on Flipbooks.”

“We chose FlipViewer Xpress Creator because it’s very user friendly and cost effective. The customer service was excellent and we can get the project up and running quickly. We have also received many positive comments regarding the created flipbook from our clients. 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!)

Some of our vendors have asked for your name – as they would like to offer a similar service to their readers.”

“As our members are very important, we wanted to choose the best looking, most user-friendly option on the market. We especially like the FlipViewer Xpress’s search functionality where you can find anything in the document just by typing a keyword. Also the book-marking feature is very exciting and makes the book even more interactive. Linking our sponsor advertisements directly to their website within the pages is also a very important and helpful tool for our directory.

FlipViewer Xpress makes the production of our membership directory more efficient as far as time and money are concerned. We use the FlipViewer Xpress as a replacement for our hardcopy membership directories that we used to print for our members in the past. Now we simply email them a link and save money on printing. In these difficult economic times, the FlipViewer Xpress is a good option for our company to pick without forgoing the value and information our directory provides.

Our readers liked the new book even though it took a bit of time of getting used to the fact that there would not be a hardcopy. Once they started using the great functions, such as the search box, they forgot about the hardcopy and got excited about the new online version as a way to enhance their communication among members. It was also popular with our advertisers as instead of just a black and white ad, we were able to put them into the FlipBook in color and make them link to their websites directly.

The response that we received from your admin and tech support was immediate and always helpful and informative. FlipViewer Xpress has more than met our expectations. Thanks to E-Book Systems for providing the means to help our company be more productive and run more smoothly!”

“We chose FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software because it is easy to use. It produces quality book-like documents, and offers useful end-user options like print, search, zoom and flipping sound. We are particularly impressed with the speed at which large documents can be viewed and browsed compared to a PDF.

So far the readers’ response has been good. We wanted to start small and let users get used to the FlipViewer(R) Xpress software. We will drop the separate view PDF online option at some point since users will be able to get the PDF version from the FlipBook too. The FlipBook format is more popular for online viewing but many users still like to have the PDF file on their PCs for some reason.

We plan to use FlipViewer(R) Xpress for many more publications including our catalogs, foundation newsletters, student newspapers, campus master plan, budget books and many others. The FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software certainly meets our requirements. The staff at your company was a pleasure to work with as well. They were very patient and answered many of our questions.”

“We chose FlipCity because of its price and quality. FlipCity is versatile and with great quality even when zooming. Most converters lose quality on digital issues. FlipCity website is very easy to use, deeply reliable, and it takes me 1 minute to convert my magazine every month, nothing compared to the great clients’ and readers’ response!”

“We chose FlipViewer Xpress Creator software because we liked the end product of some of the samples that we saw. So, we decided to go for it. Everyone loves the FlipViewer Xpress FlipBook format of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tour Itineraries and Travel Guides. We have received great feedback from our readers. Our readers found the viewer very easy to use, and we especially like the search facility.

We have people travelling with us from around the world so printed brochures don’t work for us. We have used PDFs in the past and this FlipBook edition is an extension of that. We have plans to further extend FlipViewer Xpress to our other publications.”

“We chose FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software because it is extremely easy to use. The ability to re-brand the FlipViewer(R) logo and host the catalog on our own server also helped make the decision easier. Having reviewed other digital publishing software, we found FlipViewer(R) Xpress solution much easier to use and less expensive. Also, E-Book Systems Customer Support Team has been fantastic, answering all of our questions in a short period of time.

Our clients are more impressed with the FlipViewer(R) Xpress FlipBook format of the GNP Virtual Catalogs than anything. The look is great, and the pages load very quickly compared to our competitors’. The best feature for our clients is the search box, making the product research much easier. Being able to find our Item Numbers, Product Names and Descriptions are perfect for our clients and even our Sales Team. The ability to link is also helpful to our business as we are able to have link pages to our website, thus increasing the amount of online sales.

FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator has been a great purchase. We have no complaints or concerns about the software’s functionality or performance. We certainly look forward to using it for our 2011 Green Gear Line catalogs.”
