SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 18, 2003--E-Book Systems, Inc., announces the release of the Mac FlipAlbum® 3 Suite and Mac FlipAlbum® 3 Pro as well as a new version of FlipAlbum® 5.5 Windows® series. The FlipAlbum® product line is the only software that allows users to instantly create digital photo albums or product catalogs featuring patented E-Book Systems' 3D page-flipping interface.
