Overview

There is a crisis in publishing, reading and education regarding all aspects of the book. Who is reading? What are they reading? How are they reading? When are they reading? Why are they reading? The only real consensus is that reading is sacred - but how will it evolve in the new information sea? In consultation with the leading authorities from within publishing, the media, e-book technology and vendors, and academia, this timely book directly addresses all of these considerations and offers insight in to the following: where next for usage; new publishing models and preparing for the future; digital content for news and media; the Kindle e-book, e-Reader and the I-Book; the e-book & virtual scholars; the digitizing of books; and, future storytelling. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of the book; academic, business, and general readership. An accompanying website will keep the reader fully updated on all key developments.
