Electronic Books: How Digital Devices and Supplementary New Technologies Are Changing the Face of the Publishing Industry
Pub Res Q (2010) 26:219–235 DOI 10.1007/s12109-010-9178-z Electronic Books: How Digital Devices and Supplementary New Technologies are Changing the Face of the Publishing Industry Erin Carreiro Published online: 26 October 2010 Ó Safe Creative 2010 Abstract This paper explores the topic of electronic books (e-books) and the effect that these digital devices and other new technologies has on the publishing industry. Contemporary society often claims that the publishing industry is dying and that the innovation of the e-book will eventually sentence the printed book to death. But this study will show that such is not the case. While it is true that the world is undergoing a digital revolution, publishers today have not been left in the dust, because these firms have embraced electronic publishing (e-publishing). The invention of e-books opens a world of opportunities and since the e-book market is still in its growth stage, there is much work left to be done. As with any new venture, the industry faces certain challenges, such as piracy, but with tools like encryption, digital asset management (DAM), digital rights management (DRM), and digital object identifiers (DOI), publishers are well on the way to a solution. While it is safe to say that the digital revolution has forever changed the face of publishing, e-books could actually revitalize the industry. No one knows what the future of e-publishing will hold, but developments affect publishing houses, authors, and consumers alike. And while the ultimate fate of the printed book is yet unknown, for now, it is here to stay. -
The Project Gutenberg Ebook of Things to Make, by Archibald Williams This Ebook Is for the Use of Anyone Anywhere at No Cost
The Project Gutenberg EBook of Things To Make, by Archibald Williams This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net Title: Things To Make Author: Archibald Williams Release Date: January 11, 2005 [EBook #14664] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THINGS TO MAKE *** Produced by Don Kostuch Transcriber's Note: If the pdf version of the book is viewed using facing pages with even numbered pages on the left, you will see a close approximation of the original book. Notations of the form "(1,650) 2" appear at the bottom of some pages; they are probably printer's references for assembling to book. The text only version is of limited use because of the many figures used. I recommend the pdf or rtf versions. Some of the projects should be approached with care since they involve corrosive or explosive chemicals, electricity and steam boilers. Do not use lead solder, particularly on cooking utensils. Whether you simply want to travel back into the mind of a young boy at the beginning of the twentieth century, or want to try your hand at some interesting projects in carpentry, machinery, kites and many other areas, have fun. The following four pages have definitions of unusual (to me) terms used frequently in the text. Terms Batten - Narrow strip of wood. -
