Now, in conjunction with the US-based TechBites Interactive Incorporated - a polymedia design company specializing marketing design and development for high-tech industry, including internet based publications - Wimborne Publishing Ltd is proud to bring you EPE Online. Delivered via the worldwide web, EPE Online addresses the needs of international electronics and computer hobbyists by making our renowned publication and high-quality construction projects available to enthusiasts around the world.

Each issue of EPE Online is presented as a  Adobe Acrobat PDF files that can be downloaded to your home computer. This means that international readers gain instant access to the magazine, which can be both viewed on-screen and printed. This online publication is intended to take full advantage of leading-edge polymedia technologies as they become available. EPE Online's web-based delivery mechanism provides a fun and refreshing high-quality electronics and computing hobbyist magazine to an international audience.

In addition to being the world's first web-delivered hobbyist magazine for electronics and computer enthusiasts, EPE Online offers significant advantages and a refreshing change over its older, staler competitors. For example, Popular Electronics and Electronics Now in the US appeared to be lost in the 1950s and 1960s in terms of style and construction projects (these magazines collapsed towards the end of 1999 and were merged into a new magazine called Poptronics, which has received little interest thus far). By comparison, EPE Online's construction projects are innovative and fun, and there's something for beginners and experts alike in each issue.

There are of course many fine electronics magazines available to hobbyists, such as Elektor (for European readers) and Electronics Australia and Silicon Chip (for the "Down Under" audience). However, Electronics Australia is sadly no longer published and Elektor's construction projects are esoteric to say the least. This leaves only EPE (and EPE Online) and Silicon Chip to provide the high-level of coverage for innovative and fun projects demanded by today's electronics and computing hobbyists.

Last but not least, the technology features in EPE Online mean that our web-delivered magazine is of interest to readers of such diverse publications as New Scientist and Electronics and Wireless World in the UK, and in the US, Wireless World, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Discover Magazine, and Scientific American.
