    Computer Times - September 2003 Editors Choice

    "Desktop Author Version 3 is a good buy for virtually anyone interested in electronic publishing of everything from eBooks to educational materials. A well-earned Computer Times Editor's Choice."

    Electronic Publishing – June 2003

    "Desktop Author is great program for making digital marketing tools that will drive potential customers to your website or educate them on your company, products or services."

    "I appreciate the fact that a majority of software developers are realizing that software is supposed to make users more productive, and not make matters more complicated. DeskTop Author succeeds in this task"

    Icon – July 2003

    "A Digital Web Book has a 3D look, clickable page turning and a readability factor far greater than text on a web page."

    "It’s sure to inspire you."

    Australian Digital Camera – May / June 2003

    "True to the developers’ claim, Desktop Author really does assume ‘zero programming ability’ on the user’s part."

    "We recently launched our brochures as Digital Web Books, for customers to view them on their PCs. Our eBrochures are great for customers to be able to view the brochures at the touch of a button and having them online also reduces our distribution costs."

    Tyrone Branigan, Professional Photographer

    “Not being tech savvy, I found the program easily accessible. I can change my mind, update and personalize the portfolio, depending on the client it is directed at. It appears customized and professional as it reaches the client’s desktop.”
