The eTouchBook Suite of hardware and software platform tools enable publishers and content owners to manage and directly link their print and digital assets.

The eTouchBook Suite provides publishers, for the first time, with the ability to create a hybrid media distribution experience that enables a new ecosystem of transactions, analytics, and interactivity. By turning the regular printed page into a touch screen, it can become a portal to the digital world.

"We developed a turn-key solution for publishers. Publishers can now create a portal to the digital environment from their printed pages," said Jason E. Barkeloo, Founder & President. Barkeloo concludes that, "With the eTouchBook Suite publishers now have an ecosystem to deliver content and services. This will reinvigorate their print business while leveraging their digital assets into a single product offering for their customers."

The eTouchBook Suite is comprised of the:

1. eTouchBook hardware platform - This publisher-branded platform makes the printed page sensitive to the reader's touch. It basically makes the printed page a touch screen. With a USB connection, when the printed pages are touched, the computer is able to retrieve and display the digital content or launch the communication application.

2. eTouchBook Client software - This small publisher-branded application runs on the computer and serves two primary functions. First, it manages the TUI databases that control the links and routes the pathways to the digital experience launched from the printed page. The second function of the *eTouchBook* *Client* is to serve as a browser window hosting the digital experience.

3. BookDesigner Web Service - Through a web browser and Internet connection a publisher can dynamically build and test TUI databases before they are deployed out to the *eTouchBook* *Client* on their readership's computers.
