Leading Van and Truck Storage Solutions Provider Selects E-Book Systems to Create Online Digital Catalog; American Van Equipment Customers Can Now View Product Catalog with 3-D Page-Flipping Format Free Online.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- E-Book Systems, the leader in Digital Flip(R) e-publishing technology, announces that American Van Equipment, a company with 25 years of experience in the van and truck equipment industry, has adopted its 3-D page-flipping format for the company's online catalog. American Van Equipment can now offer its customers the ability to quickly shop for practical truck and van storage solutions from an online replica of its printed version.

With E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) technology, customers can go to www.americanvan.com and click on the "Flip through our Online Catalog" link to read the digital catalog. No downloads are required, so in moments, readers can view the entire catalog just as it would appear in print - complete with real "flipping" pages.

"We wanted to create an easy way for our customers to view and purchase our products," said Richard Gebbia, vice president of marketing for American Van Equipment. "E-Book Systems' technology is extremely user-friendly so our customers can quickly locate the product they want."

"It's a digital replica of the print version, so customers can easily find and order the products they see in the print catalog," said E-Book Systems President Seng Beng Ho. "The online catalog will help increase sales too, as it's easier for customers to flip through a digital catalog, rather than spend time searching the Web site for the products they wish to purchase and scrolling down Web site pages to look for them. Most importantly, with the digital catalog on the Internet, anybody in the world can access it conveniently."

E-Book Systems' Digital Flip(R) technology, used in conjunction with FlipViewer(R), Mac FlipViewer(R) and FlipViewer(R) Browser Version, turns documents into an online, multimedia-enhanced 3-D page-flipping format. The company can convert PDF, Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Word and HTML files into its patented online page-flipping format. The publications remain online after they are downloaded, which allows readers to click on links on pages and advertisements. The Digital Flip(R) 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.

American Van Equipment joins a growing roster of E-Book Systems' customers, including select Reed Business Information and Cygnus Business Media publications.
