The Orange County Register yesterday became the first newspaper in California to launch a Web-based, electronic edition called E-Register. Utilizing a digital publishing technology powered by Olive
Software, Inc., the electronic edition of the Register displays the entire content and layout of the newspaper on the Web - all headlines, articles, photographs and advertisements - exactly as they
appear in print. "Consumers now have two choices on how they will receive the Register - delivery to their doorstep and delivery to their desktop," said Ginger Neal, vice president and managing
director of business development at Freedom Orange County Information, publisher of the Register. "In a mobile society that increasingly uses the Internet to find information, the electronic edition
brings unparalleled access and an added level of service and convenience to customers - without geographic or circulation borders." Neal added that the subscription-based E-Register is particularly
appealing for military personnel, frequent business travelers, college students, and part-time or former residents who want to stay informed of local news even if they are not in Orange County.
