American College of Physicians Chooses iPublishCentral to Launch its e-Book
Strategy

ACP content now available online to read, share, or purchase

NEW YORK, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Impelsys (www.impelsys.com), a global leader
in electronic content delivery solutions, today announced that the American
College of Physicians (ACP) has launched its e-book portal using
iPublishCentral (www.ipublishcentral.com), an easy-to-implement,
cost-effective, self-service solution that allows publishers to market,
distribute and monetize traditional print content through electronic channels.
ACP has made more than 40 books available online for purchase in digital
format on their new e-book site, http://www.acppress-ebooks.com/.

"ACP Press chose iPublishCentral as our platform to deliver and distribute our
digital content because it is a simple, easy-to-use solution suite," said
Steven E. Weinberger, MD, FACP, ACP's deputy executive vice president and
senior vice president for medical education and publishing. "Our readers can
now easily read, download, create and manage purchased books. They can even
sample content through the ViewInside feature and, using a viral marketing
tool, share information about ACP books by placing a widget of the book on a
blog, Web site or social networking site."

Readers benefit from iPublishCentral because they can retain the look and feel
of a traditional print book, while relying on electronic features such as
search, bookmarking and user personalization. The result is more convenience,
choice and control.

"By going online through iPublishCentral, ACP Press has taken an important
step towards reaching out to their community online and offering them the
flexibility and benefit of accessing ACP Press content from anywhere," said
Sameer Shariff, CEO of Impelsys.

Best sellers like Drug Prescribing in Renal Failure, How to Report Statistics
in Medicine, Medical Care of the Pregnant Patient, The Quotable Osler, and
more are available for digital download. ACP's complete catalog will be
available starting this fall.
