U-Turn
Rising from the Dead
Although e-books have been described as dead by more than one industry expert (and despite Barnes & Noble.com's recent decision to stop selling e-books), there are some vital signs in the marketplace. Statistics from both the Association of American Publishers and the Open e-Book Forum show a small but growing market, with the OeBF projecting total sales to top $10 million by the end of the year. And a recent press release from the Kyodo News Service asserts that sales of e-books in Japan soared to one billion yen ($10 million) in 2002, representing some 25,000 titles—novels, nonfiction, picture books, comics.
...By the end of the session, it was clear that not only is e-book publishing not merely "technology"—and certainly not simply dumping content into an electronic file—but that each company is already charting its own distinct path as an e-publisher.
