New Zealand Company Becomes E-Book Systems' Latest
Flip-Enabled Partner
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 23,
2003--FlipViewer® by E-Book Systems -- the leader in digital flip
technology -- has been incorporated by Virtual Technology Networks Ltd.
into the Open2Sell WorldWide Limited web site, making the New Zealand
company E-Book's latest flip-enabled partner.
Open2Sell WorldWide Limited is a real estate web site (http://www.open2sell.com/ and http://www.open2sell.co.nz/) which invites realtors and real estate agencies as well as private individuals to link their property listings to the site, where they can manage their own individual accounts, including adding, modifying and deleting their own property listings. After the completion of the Real Estate Section of the site, a full integration was conducted to the WorldWide Accommodation section of the site, which holds Hotels, Motels, B&B's as well as Apartments. Enabling reservations and bookings directly from the E-Book has dramatically enhanced the Accommodation's exposure and is already generating an increase of room reservations to the accommodations listed. Herman Smeets, General Manager of Virtual Technology Networks Ltd. and owner of Open2Sell WorldWide Limited, discovered the E-Book technology some time ago and completely rewrote the program script modules to allow for the flawless integration of this new technology within his existing website. He states: "People are always looking for something new. I knew my site needed something to differentiate it from other sites, and I knew immediately that the FlipBook technology was the answer. When I investigated the E-Book Technology I knew that I was onto something big. The marketing possibilities are enormous. Every book can be attached to any email and on top of that every book can be emailed directly from the book itself. This would create a snowball effect because friends forward the books to friends. The terminology 'Automated Marketing' became reality. Already over 12,000 people viewed our main site E-Book." Based on a book concept, FlipViewer® is not like any conventional web browsers in that pages are downloaded and organized into a book form. Individual pages are displayed like those in a real book. While you are reading the current page, the new few pages will be streamed into your PC. FlipBooks can also contain full-page advertisements along with the regular banner ads. Open2Sell WorldWide's system is now nearing its completion and includes:
