E-Book Systems

Founded in March 1998, E-Book Systems Inc aims to bring the natural look and feel of the paper-based book to the digital paradigm, with its patented Digital Flip Technology.

To have an understanding of why E-Book Systems was formed, we need to go back to history. Some 5,000 years ago (3000 BC), literature was documented on scrolls. Between 100 and 200 AD, the documenting of literature evolved from scrolls to books. And the ‘Page Flipping’ revolution was born.

Beginning in the 1970s, information became largely available on the Internet. And so, the way we read began to change from ‘page flipping’ to ‘page scrolling’. For many years now, we have been reading electronic documents in an un-natural way, scrolling from top to bottom of our computer screens.

The ease of access and global reach of the Internet paved the way for a Digital Age, where electronic documents became the norm. The proliferation of electronic documents was accompanied by an increase in the need for on-screen reading. E-Book Systems recognized this, and identified the need for a book-like interface for favorable on-screen reading experiences - hence, bringing back the ‘page-flipping’ revolution to computers with its patented Digital Flip Technology.
