BROWSING:
One Step Forward...
For those
who wish navigating the Internet were as easy as reading a book, E-Book
System’s new FlipBrowser 1.0 does all but provide a lamp and a beverage.
The free software, available from flipbrowser.com, compiles Web pages into
an on-screen book format so they “turn” rather than scroll. No longer do
you have to rely on the forward and back buttons, which too often take you
somewhere you don’t want to be. You can delete pages so that your Web book
contains only what you want, tossing out reams of unread info. FlipBrowser
is especially handy for online shopping, making virtual catalogs more
lifelike. The pages “turn” in simulated 3-D, are numbered and can be
bookmarked. A streaming function lets you view pages before they fully
download, if you want to speed-read.
