FlipBrowser: Another Step in the E-Publishing Revolution

The promised eBook revolution has not yet stormed triumphantly across the publishing world the way its hearty band of e-publishing warriors had hoped. Maybe they had set their sights too high. Maybe they are guilty of instigating a revolution without enough followers to bring down the paper ramparts. Maybe I'm just going way overboard with dramatic hyperbole.

It's important to realize that it took hundreds of years before traditional paper bound books became the universal method of transmitting ideas. I bet Johann Gutenberg, who invented the means of mass-producing books in the mid 1400s, never believed there would be a Gutenberg Bible beside every Red Roof Inn bed within a year or two. In fact, only about a 180 were ever published. I'm fairly certain eBooks will be more than a curiosity. I'm also fairly certain that eBooks will be delivered to readers much differently than they are today.

When it comes to eBook publishing, people think of products like the Rocket eBook. But there are other ways of delivering e-book content. One of these comes from a company called E-Book Systems. The delivery mechanism is called 'FlipBrowser.' It's a software based Web browser that allows e-publishers the power to do more than create eBooks. They can also create photo albums, instruction manuals and tutorials. These creations can then be posted on Web sites or delivered as e-mail attachments. One of the cool features of the FlipBrowser is the power to turn pages in a book.
