FlipViewer® Browser Version is a digital publication reader that enables digital online publications like magazines, catalogs, newspapers, newsletters and annual reports to be viewed immediately from any browser without downloading any additional plug-ins or applications. The software features an intuitive page-flipping interface that lets readers "turn" pages, rapidly skim content and go directly to a certain page number, just like reading or browsing through a printed publication. Readers can immediately visit the publishers' or advertisers' Web sites by clicking on links on pages and advertisements inside the digital publication.

"FlipViewer® Browser Version is a quick and convenient way to view digital publications in the engaging 3-D page-flipping format that our customers have enjoyed for years without the hassle of downloading additional software," said Seng Beng Ho, president of E-Book Systems.

Using FlipViewer® readers have additional capabilities that include viewing any PDF, Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker and Word file in the page-flipping format by downloading a plug-in.
