SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 31, 2004-- Ground Support Magazine, a publication for airline and military ground support decision-makers, is using E-Book System's Digital Flip® Technology for its online version. E-Book Systems -- the leader in 3-D Digital Flip® technology -- creates dynamic 3-D page-turning digital "FlipBooks" out of any document.

Published by Cygnus Business Media, Ground Support Magazine offers management, technical, product and service information to the global aviation ground support industry to improve the reliability, efficiency and cost effectiveness of their operations. The magazine is published 10 times a year for airline and military decision-makers who are directly involved with the purchase of ground support equipment and services, as well as maintenance, engineering and operations titles. The quarterly online versions are specifically written for military ground support personnel.

"We are excited to give our readers the convenience of enjoying our publication's online version in E-Book's page flipping format," says Holly Hoffer, publisher of Ground Support Magazine. "Our advertisers will benefit from the extra online exposure, initially sent to our targeted group of military readers and then shared with the whole industry, once it's placed online. Advertisers will also be pleased that this technology makes their ads look identical to the ones published in print versions."

Ground Support Magazine will also use E-Book's FlipAnalyzer, which tracks the usage of your FlipBooks in terms of page views, click throughs and time spent on reading content pages and ads.
