  • Electronic Reading Devices: Are They Hurting Or Helping the Print Publishing Industry?
    Electronic Reading Devices: Are They Hurting or Helping the Print Publishing Industry? by Savannah Nikkole Wesley B.A., Middle Tennessee State University, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Mass Communications Department of Mass Communications In the Graduate School Middle Tennessee State University March, 2014 DEDICATION I’d like to dedicate this paper to my son Jeremiah Eden Wesley. Jeremiah you are my inspiration and the reason I keep going and working hard to better myself. I hope that gaining my Master’s degree not only opens doors in my life, but in yours also. It is my sincerest hope that every moment spent away from you in writing this thesis only shows you how sacrifice and dedication to improving yourself can give you a brighter future. I love you my son. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank Dr. Reineke for hours of invaluable assistance during the arduous research and writing portion of this paper. Additionally I sincerely appreciate all of my committee members for taking the time to give me your insights and feedback throughout this process. Finally, I’d like to thank Howard Books for three years of invaluable work and insight into many aspects of the publishing industry, which ultimately inspired the topic of this research thesis. iii Abstract With ever-evolving and emerging technology making an impact on today’s society, examining how this technology affects mass media is essential. This study attempts to delve into an emerging media - electronic reading devices - and research how they are changing the publishing industry by looking into the arenas of newspaper, magazine, and book publishing as well as at consumers of print media on a larger scale.

  • 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.

Computer assistance saved substantial time and money, and, in conjunction with software for information retrieval systems, gave birth to electronic pub- lishing. Directories, indexes, and other print publications that were produced electronically were then published, accessed, and used elec- tronically and became known as databases. Databases have had a profound impact on librarianship and have transformed both library user services and operations. Such client ser- vices as literature searching are now faster and more comprehensive. Library operations, like interlibrary loans and acquisitions, are now simpler and more effective. Machine-readable databases have also affected the dissemination of professional information. Librarians can find timely information about events and trends in librarianship in a number of databases. The focus of this paper will be those databases which support library operations and provide professional information. The reader should be aware, however, that databases are just one facet of electronic Joel M.

    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.8, 2017 Designing and Publication of Interactive E-Book for Students of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University: An Empirical Study Hessah Alshaya Afnan Oyaid Educational Technology, College of Education, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Saudi Arabia Abstract The present study aims to keep pace with the rapid developments in the field of e-learning which includes the widespread use of e-books. Therefore, the authors conducted a pilot study on (55) faculty members from various disciplines, they assured the importance of e-books in education and the need for them. Accordingly, the authors designed and published their book "Education Technology: Foundations and Applications" as an interactive application on apps platforms by using a design model that was developed by the authors, and by adopting a list of (28) standards divided into four domains to ensure the quality of the design and development of the e-book according to educational and technological standards. Thereafter, female students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of e-books and their self-efficacy in using it were identified by (44) female students of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University. The results indicate that the students have the basic skills necessary to download and read e-books and take advantage of its characteristics, additionally, they believe in its usefulness and are satisfied with it as they intend to continue using e-books in the future.

Despite their utility, however, conventional books published on paper have numerous limitations. Traditional, print-based books can be extremely costly to produce, store, ship, and sell.
