With E-Book Systems' Digital Flip® technology, visitors to http://www.maxre.bm/ can download the FlipViewer® digital publication reader to view the FlipBook version of the current annual report. FlipViewer® is a one-time download, so users will never need to reinstall the program to read FlipBook publications in the future.

"With E-Book Systems' impressive FlipBook technology, our Web site visitors have the ability to virtually duplicate the experience of reading a hard copy of our annual report and can readily access its various sections," says Kip Herring, senior vice president of marketing and finance for Max Re.

E-Book Systems' Digital Flip® technology, used in conjunction with FlipViewer®, Mac FlipViewer® and FlipViewer® Browser Version digital publication readers, turns printed publications into an online, multimedia-enhanced 3-D page-flipping format. The company can convert any PDF, Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Word and HTML files into its patented online page-flipping format. The publications can remain online after they are downloaded, to allow readers to click on links in pages or advertisements and be directed to the Web site, just like clicking on a link in a standard Web site browser. The Digital Flip® technology can incorporate a variety of multimedia elements, like MID, WAV and MP3 files, to enhance the publication. E-Book Systems' Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution safeguards content providers' intellectual properties.
