EE Times, the electronics industry news source for engineers and technical managers, announces a significant new delivery option of its exclusive technology and business news, analysis and design information.

Starting March 11, 2002, EE Times will introduce a full, electronic version of the newspaper, available for download to the more than 600,000 monthly visitors of its online communities who currently do not receive the print issue, and as an option to their 160,000+ print subscribers. This version, called EE Times Digital, is an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the entire issue, complete with advertisements.

"Our extensive research has shown that while print is still the preferred format for our subscribers, there are a tremendous number of engineers, technologists, managers and financial professionals worldwide that rely on EE Times online for the news and technical information they need to help them stay ahead of their competition," says Richard Wallace, VP/Editorial Director of EE Times Worldwide. "EE Times Digital delivers the full analysis of the print publication in digital format, an alternative many people have requested," states Wallace.

Utilizing qMags technology by Qiosk.com, a leading developer and deliverer of electronic media, to produce EE Times Digital, readers can get a high-quality, version of EE Times first thing Monday morning, before the postal delivery. They can keyword search the whole issue easily to find the article or topic they're interested in, or scroll throughout the issue. Readers can also link directly to a company's web site by clicking on select editorial mentions or ad URLs.

This service is offered to advertisers, as long as they provide EE Times with a digital file of their ad. Advertisers receive links from their ad to their web site, (as well as from any editorial mention), plus potentially reach thousands of additional electronics professionals worldwide. qMags can transform reading into an interactive multimedia experience by incorporating audio and video clips that link to related editorial and promotional sites.

"In this year of our 30th anniversary, we continue to invest in innovative products for our readers and advertisers."
