Annabooks Announces New Online Store
New Store to Sell eBooks Using Flipbooks
Technology
Rancho Mirage, Calif., April 6, 2021 – Annabooks is
excited to announce a change in our book publishing
direction. The traditional eBook model and format have not
been the best fit for technical books that have charts,
graphics, and tables. We have kept our eyes out for better
eBook solutions. One technology that we have been watching
is Flipbooks. Flipbooks technology was developed several
years ago, so that magazine publishers could sell online
magazines. Flipbooks technology provides a similar look
and feel to physical magazines, and keeps the same clean
layout as the printed magazine. For a time, all the
services around Flipbooks technology were focused on
magazines; but, over time, the technology has matured.
After evaluating the latest Flipbooks technology, we are
excited to announce that we are launching the new
Annabooks Online Store (https://annabooksonlinestore.com/)
to sell eBooks in the Flipbooks format. Special eBook
reader applications or single-use tablet hardware devices
are not needed with our eBooks. The new Annabooks Online
Store allows you to purchase books, add them to your
library, and view them on PC and mobile devices that have
a web browser.
The new store gives us some independence, helps propel
us forward into the future, and opens the door for us to
work with other authors to publish their technical and
non-technical books. The store is starting small with
eBooks only, but our printed editions will be added to the
store over time. A lot has happened over the past year,
but we are excited about the future of our publishing.
About Annabooks, LLC. (www.annabooks.com)
– Annabooks has been in the book publishing
business for over 30 years and is known as one of the
leading publishers of books on developing with Intel
Architecture and Windows Embedded\IoT.

Annabooks Releases A New Computer Science Book
This newly released Book is a practical guide for
learning Java, Eclipse, and Computer Science.
Yorba Linda, Calif., September
28, 2018 – Annabooks is pleased to announce
the release of a new book titled Java and Eclipse for
Computer Science, written by Sean D. Liming and
John R. Malin. Almost every job today has some interaction
with a computer or a computing device. Computers come in
all shapes and sizes such as smartphones, ATM machines,
thermostats, test equipment, robotics, point-of-sale
systems, cloud servers, projection systems, and, personal
computers. All of them need to be designed, built, and
programmed. Having a good understanding of computer
programming and Computer Science can provide a good
foundation for one’s career. The Java programming language
is one of the most popular programming languages used
today, and it is widely taught in high schools and
universities as an introduction to Computer Science.
“Teacher lead instruction is pedagogical
for most school subjects. Computer Science can be
instructor-led as well, but programming is really a
learn-by-doing exercise that each individual must
perform,” says Sean Liming, co-author. “After reviewing
various Computer Science teaching materials, we set out to
fill a need that addresses the core introduction
curriculum of Computer Science using Java and real-world
development tools that employers are looking for.”
The goal of this textbook is to combine
Java programming, Computer Science, and a popular
development tool that not only prepares you for the
Computer Science curriculum but also beyond the classroom
into your professional career. The 14 chapters start with
the basics of how Algebra flows into computer programming,
moves on to logical program flow, and then to Object
Oriented Programming. After these fundamentals come the
advanced topics of recursion, search, sort, and Big-O
notation. Then going beyond the basic curriculum material,
the later chapters cover graphical programming with
JavaFX, File I/O, an introduction to data structures, and
finishes with JavaFX 2-D Game development. There are many
computer activities to provide a hands-on experience right
from the beginning to keep you involved during the reading
of this book.
The printed edition is priced at $99.95 and the eBook
edition is priced at $84.95. The eBook edition is now
available on Amazon Kindle, and the printed
edition will be available in a couple months.

Annabooks Releases New Book Title Starter Guide for
Windows® System Image Manager
New eBook provides Step-by-Step Instructions for
Windows® System Image Manager for Use with Windows Server,
Desktop, and Embedded Editions
Yorba Linda, Calif., Oct 30, 2013 –
Annabooks is pleased to announce the release of a new book
titled Starter Guide for Windows® System Image
Manager, written by Sean D. Liming and John R.
Malin. Windows® System Image Manager (SIM) allows PC
Manufactures, IT Managers, and Embedded Developers to
automate the installation of Windows operating systems.
SIM allows these developers to install applications,
device drivers, and Windows updates along with the Windows
operating system. The ability to automate operating system
installation helps to remove any human error that can
occur with manual installation. Also, the ability to
maintain and support many platforms over a long life cycle
is an important asset in today’s ever changing technology.
“Traditionally, Windows Embedded releases
came with special tools to help build from components or
modules. The release of Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry has
prompted a shift in the Windows Embedded desktop OS
development approach to align with Windows server and
desktop,” says John R. Malin, co-author. “Rather than
using custom tools, developers can continue using SIM for
all Windows for x86 releases.”
Nine chapters cover the basics such as
catalog creation, distribution share setup, answer file
creation, and final Windows installation image. To support
embedded version, the book covers the lockdown features
and look and feel options available. 11 exercises cover
the various tools, concepts, and technologies. Exercise
files are downloadable from the Annabooks website.
The eBook is priced at $29.99, and it is available on
Amazon Kindle.
