SAE International Launches E-Books for Engineers on the Go

WARRENDALE, Pa., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Staying up-to-date on
mobility engineering technology and knowledgeable on its history just became
easier with the launch of e-books from SAE International.

The SAE online bookstore now offers a variety of titles in electronic format,
including new releases, best-sellers and out-of-print titles. Customers can
choose to order an entire book or a specific chapter. All purchased content
is archived in a personal, electronic library.

E-books are ideal for the engineering professional who needs to access
information while traveling, or who benefits from having content from multiple
resources saved in one, easily portable medium.

"SAE International is excited to offer today's busy engineering professional a
way to quickly receive content from our impressive collection of titles, and
to build an electronic library that they can access at their convenience,"
Thomas J. Drozda, Global Director of Products, Programs and Services, SAE
International, said.

To acquire an e-book, customers purchase a downloadable file from SAE
International and the content is delivered to their personal computer or
hand-held device, such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader or Apple iPhone. The
reading experience is dependent upon the device, but common functions include
searching, highlighting, bookmarking and linking to outside sources.

E-books are available for purchase on SAE International's newly redesigned
online bookstore at http://books.sae.org. The site has been enhanced to
promote easy browsing, categorizing titles by best-sellers, new releases,
special offers and editor recommendations. Titles also are grouped by
appropriate audiences, including new engineers, experienced engineers,
executives, researchers and students.

More information on e-books, including a video tutorial, can be found at
