SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004-- CNET CHINA, a subsidiary of CNET Networks, INC., has adopted E-Book Systems' Digital Flip® Technology, thereby, providing their readers a new reading experience. E-Book Systems creates dynamic 3-D page-turning digital "FlipBooks" out of any document.

Now, with the Digital Flip® technology, visitors who go to http://www.cnet.com.cn/ can simply click on a link to automatically download the magazines.

Once the program is downloaded and for all subsequent visits, the reader needs only to click on the magazine link on the site and the FlipBook version of the publication will open immediately.

CNET China is also using E-Book Systems' FlipAnalyzer service, which tracks the usage of FlipBooks in terms of page views, click throughs, and time spent on reading content pages and ads and will generate reports to help manage the effectiveness of FlipBook content distribution strategy. This service will also help CNET China determine their overall circulation.

"We are leading the way in moving into digital publications as part of our grand strategy, which will inevitably seriously influence China IT media development," stated CNET China Chief Editor, Ms. Keli Liu.
