A (Y 3): SALE OF ZAFONAZOS

During the last few days we visited many libraries, and we have found that books Larsson are ordered and purchased with anxiety for many people, nobody wants to be without the third party-not already read the first two volumes of the trilogy, "or has been decided by incarle end to the tooth, "at least the First, to remove the itch of curiosity that has led to this social phenomenon.

Because we are at this, just as were the pandemics of viruses Potterian Zafón-2 and 5-7. But the amazing thing (did you still for anyone?) Is that bookstores are pretty empty, are empty, readers, customers and if we at this rate of return ... books.

In any case, booksellers we insist that the appearance of the third volume of Millennium has reactivated a little less traffic to the libraries. Indeed, a few days ago we read how it has decreased the flow rate to shopping - Experian footfall Index - in Spain. The report measures the flow to the mall, and throws in Spain a significant fact: the decline in May by 5.2% compared with May 2008. The report also deteriorates the cumulative index is now at -1.7%, compared APSAD -0.9% of April.

seems that what is worrying is not the fall, but the report shows changes in the seasonality of the sector, because traditionally in May was a month alzista in affluence. In fact, the last week of May led to a decrease of 11.5% over the same week last year.

We thought the thread emerges from these data. There are chains of bookstores that have chosen to grow in these settling and shopping mall, rather than in urban population centers. These branches of the chains sell little or nothing from Monday to Thursday, beginning a recovery from Friday, to focus the bulk of its sales on weekends and holidays. How will these libraries now? "Les is saving Larsson's books? What percentage margin of return over the previous year are generating a rush these outlets shouting "more wood"?

Indeed, we hear of another avalanche of refunds, synonymous with a crisis situation rather than worrying. According to traditional customs and practices put forward in this sector, during April, May and June sales were strong, and returns in June and July were controlled. The problem is that returns have not dropped their pace, perhaps increased since noviembree past. This starts to sound not anomaly, but a structural change.

still analyzing such things as "uses and customs" and, of course, understand nothing, because instead of watching what happens out there, still staring at the navel. Do not have to start in the book industry to speak of "cycles of consumption"? From San Jordi and Book Fairs has saved people ("do something) to eat on vacation, and around, inevitably, start saving for Christmas to consume. Consumer habits are changing about the book, and it looks like phenomena as Millennium recur more frequently, so that the sector is going to have to readjust to sell zafonazos to sell something at least.

Given this economy crisis, other sectors know how to react by injecting waist to the price band. When will be inevitable to fixed price for the book? How soon will inevitably the possibility of sales of the book? In all sectors of the modern consumer rebates and promotions encourage demand and reduce inventories. Here, with prices not to raise us up, even if the consumer claims to other things.

Read, read to Larsson. And also remember Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann, Joseph Roth, Stefan Zweig, and Pérez Galdós, Valle-Inclán, Unamuno, Baroja, Lorca, Vila-Matas, Perez Reverte. Above all, read what they please.

ABOUT LARSSON (2): BOOKS FOR THOUGHT?

In the past Editors Meeting Santander, on the table for editing "book test", we had occasion to attend a new assault versus culture debate edition edition market. Although we declare strong advocates and frequenters of what the teacher Einaudi called "issue" yes ", how timely Jorge Herralde reminded all attendees, the debate culture / market between publishers reactivated during a commentary on the trilogy of Larsson. Some

editor dared to assert that only books he edited "to think", while the representative of Metro defended some quality books written by a renowned journalist in his country. Aside from outdated elitism, which is imposed is the reality. In an industry beset by crisis in relative terms, seeing people on the subway and buses with Larsson's books is something that moves open to discussion. The extraordinary level of sales achieved in so short time for this trilogy, with a compulsive buying the third volume the same day it appeared in bookstores, forcing the sector, publishers and booksellers, to reflect on this phenomenon, transcending a Manichaean debate culture / market. We do several questions:

  1. Are not Larsson's books more than just a best seller?
  2. Do they respond to a fashion or a trend-communitarian sociological?
  3. Is this a case study for teachers of marketing or sales by sociologists who study consumer habits?

reading these days Chartier Rogert , a researcher on the world of written culture, the book and reading of modernity to this day, we read a peculiar definition of 'culture' that can help us shed light on this phenomenon, "this demonstration articulates the symbolic productions and aesthetic experiences, subtracted from the urgency of everyday life, with the languages, rituals and behaviors by which a community lives and reflects their bond with the world, with others and with itself. "



No doubt that the billion dollar sale of Larsson's trilogy, and a fashion business for a publisher, several hundred distributors and retail outlets, including independent bookstores, may be called "symbolic production" of Western society. Some journalists have dubbed these best seller as "quality", to distinguish them from other products of a blockbuster sequels, or provoking it, whose literary quality leaves much to be desired.

With Larsson, and not purists like us, is going to like some and others, the exquisite and mass. We do not know if Larsson's books are a literary gem, but certainly entertaining virtue is not incompatible at all, in principle, with a second reading "to think." Of course, this phenomenon should make us "think" the architects of the sector, to discover that after Larsson's trilogy lies not only a business but a mass phenomenon, in short, a discourse that transcends the materiality of books .



Reading back to Chartier, remember that I. Kant in his Metaphysics of Morals (1796), noted the dual nature of the book, material and discursive, and thus distinguish between the book as "opus mechanicum" as a material object, which belongs to the buyer, and the book as a speech to an audience, which remains the property of the author and that can only be put into circulation by their principals. Therefore implies the separation of the essential identity of the work and the indefinite plurality of states, or if you like, between the noun and the accident, the ideal and transcendent text, on the one hand, and multiple forms of publication, another.

Larsson will remain a social phenomenon as it becomes available in paperback, even when the digital platform to release the trilogy in Metro e-book format there by Christmas. And here is the paradox: the defenders of the trial, of 'books to think, "claimed an idealist conception of the issue, now, we note with amazement, turns against him. Chartier reminds us, David Kastan calls "Platonic" the perspective in which a work transcends all possible embodiments materials, and "pragmatic" to which he claims that no text exists outside of material form that they read or hear.

Well, despite the immediate sale and millionaire and media noise of "blooms" of Larsson (read pragmatic), we believe that this phenomenon (read idealistic) transcend the media. As a paradigm of a social revolution, economic and cultural, the Millennium trilogy announces new era for the book world, where it is incorporated into the logic of mass phenomena in the large consumption of cultural products, to analyze not read rates (teachers and academics) but consumption patterns (social scientists and marketing managers).
Culture and market are not mutually exclusive, then. The big question to ask is this: Can a publishing phenomenon as it does sell other books? That is, after Millennium what?

A PURPOSE OF LARSSON (1): WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE A BEST SELLER AT A HAMBURGER? EDITORS MEETING

Summer came and go like crazy riding booksellers windows and managed to sell a knife the last book in the trilogy of Larsson, talisman to which the sector has given the magical powers that lead us out of Book now assumed crisis. Booksellers want to cash as, dealers expect such million-selling curb the tsunami of the return (of the "other" books, of course), and "other" publishers are torn between submitting its next plan to sell or engaging editorial coarse linen, because I do not know what to do with the bands of unsold books. The

blame for everything, according to some, is the homogenization of demand, ie best-sellers, who are eroding the market, generating negative anomalies pandemic reading for the entire sector. But what is a best seller? Answer to question Mexican writer and editor Roberto Pliego in the latest issue of the journal Textures:
  1. Best seller: a term coined by Harold Bell Wright in 1902, which he defined as "comfort food for people Simple. "
  2. Long before there was talk of the book industry or mass society, the best seller was already there: The Green Mountain Boys (1839), Daniel P. Thompson reached 50 reprints twenty years Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), by Harriet B. Stowe, sold 300 thousand copies in one year.
  3. The best seller is written not to literature but to ring the cash register.
  4. The best seller is the book that sells as many copies as soon as possible: Quixote, the Bible or Hundred Years of Solitude are best sellers.
  5. The best seller is a product is the sign of the speed and vaccine is rereading.
  6. Just outside the bestselling reader a library ... or a bookstore.
  7. The best seller is alien to literary criticism or literary history: not precise analysis, only seeks immediate experiences.
  8. Al bestseller benefits you free price and leeway in intellectual property and copyrights.
  9. The best-selling author pays no regard to literature, but the commercial director of the publisher.
few days ago one of our classes in the Edit Master University of Salamanca , in partnership with Santillana, the students we interviewed about the almost inevitable question of compulsory sale of books from Larsson, the result of the subsequent discussion the following question arose: Why bestsellers and bestseller large fall in most cases, statistically speaking, in two or three large publishing groups? We place the following working hypotheses that could explain this phenomenon:
  1. editorial talent management: to have a major economic power the profile of big publishers hire editors 'smell' of literature.
  2. are publishing with a strong commercial: they have a cultural bias-apostles.
  3. These companies do not have editors but " coolhunters '(trend hunters) who are literate society emerging trends in each country.
  4. The economic power of the editorial-or group-determines access to manuscripts and authors of caches very high. This could explain a Follet, a Le Carré or Grisham, but could not explain Dan Brown, a John Boyne, the first Harry Potter or the same Larsson.
  5. are companies with capacity to develop a coherent and consistent marketing, with a cross brace from other parts of the media conglomerate.

What do you think? Should any of these causal factors? Do not be a mix of various hypotheses? , or a chance in the theory of catastrophes? The pandemic of the bestseller "favor the fixed price drop?

ended with a quote from Roberto Pliego: In what looks like a bestseller to a hamburger? In that one and another are made from ingredients unreliable and taste better when they are offered at bargain prices.

SANTANDER: IN SEARCH OF THE DIGITAL FUTURE BATTLES LOST AND POSITIONING

Just a few days ago we were in Santander, participating as "students" (in other words, paying) in Editors Meeting UIMP promoted by the FGEE , that this call had no other theme than to celebrate the XXIV previous encounters. The speakers said the organization would be specifically some of the directors during the previous editions, so the consistency and soundness of this meeting, apart from the celebration, has been very difficult to achieve. The thread has been, however, earned an honorary Pancho held unanimously by all present.


Although the match is always pleasant colleagues and friends in a beautiful setting "such as Palacio de la Magdalena after the days has been a life full of melancholy tone and insipidness due to low specific gravity in general have had a few sessions devoted to taking stock (poor) and to look ahead (few) for a sector, and publishing the book, needed to cries of "new life" as the FGEE President himself said in closing session.


do not claim a detailed account of the sessions. Of all the papers, some of them the result of improvisation, some brilliant (as Jesus Bader), the one that caught our attention, not only because it was pride, but because it provided a flawless documentation and background themes for reflection, was that of Ms. Rosalina Diaz, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Spain. Their paper, in the round table intended for issue of new technologies and intellectual property, headed by Rafael Martínez Ales, and senior Julian Viñuales and José Antonio Millán as co-presenters (pictured), had precisely the title "The new publishing technologies and their impact on intellectual property."


Rosalina Diaz, in an illustrious period of reflection on the future facing the world of books, said the five trends that are transforming the traditional book business:
  1. Technological innovation: with Paulato a dizzying and improvement of ebooks, with increased search capabilities of major search engines, and a decrease in the cost of POD.


  2. The customization: offering the possibility of acquiring content collected or chapters, customizing compilations with your own content and customized covers, opening new market opportunities, particularly academia.


  3. shredded Content consumption: promoting the sale of individual chapters, sections or items, short-term subscriptions, or free offer the entire contents of a book in digital format and sell the same content in additional formats.


  4. Commitment / Collaboration: promoting the process of creating and editing.


  5. enrichment / expansion, we are seeing a meat processing plant of the object "book", which is experienced as material losses for rich content.
As an illustration, Rolasina Diaz said a number of examples for each of these trends, new business lines that have emerged in the shadow of new technologies and new consumer habits:


  1. Customization: platforms like of McGraw-Hill Primis, Falt World Knowledge or MijnWebboek.be . The customization is that Users can be done as a book to read on screen, with the possibility of desktop publishing on paper.


  2. shredded Content: platforms such as Taylor & Francis eBookstore , SpringerLink , Cengage iChapters , Chegg or Bookswin . The user can buy chapters ueltos or fragments, or print the paper book with huge discounts.


  3. Collaboration: platforms such as Safari , West Law School Exchange , Connexions, Merlot where active Board Index, as prosumer, in the creation and subsequent editing of content.


  4. Enrichment platforms such as ImageCONSULT , thevisualMD , MyMathLab or Aplio , where the user has text and images enriches for consultation, study and learning on line.

New technologies applied to the book sector which are transcending borders and legal materials object "book" in which the sector is still corseted. Are the same limitations, lack of vision, do one of the speakers at Santander said that Wikipedia is just one of the online encyclopedias available, with the difference that it acts as a Robin Hood who steals from the editors to give readers, if Wikipedia is anything but an online encyclopedia to use, but a knowledge community that bases its rationale in the proactive collaboration of users.



Comments like this make clear that some of our elders are not understanding the emergence of a new paradigm that will affect profoundly serious and every day of the actors of the book, from authors to booksellers, inevitably from a brutal transformation of the distribution, and, of course, a redesign of the business channels and rationale of the editors. Not to mention the impact on reading habits and types. This is not to be fascinated by gadgets and new technologies. We are not witnessing a technological change but cultural change that will have economic consequences.

futures editing pass, therefore, to be opened to new possibilities with an entrepreneurial spirit, without, of course, to continue doing things right on paper. In that vein, interventions such as Javier Pradera surprised by the perplexity and amazement that was before, and not so recent entry into the market of many small and independent publishers. The answer was given by Jorge Herralde, which our ancestors was the most successful not only to praise the excellent work that these independent publishers are doing (in Spain and Latin America), with their care catalogs and paper editions, but to give a touch of attention to the audience before the arrival of "new paradigm." The wiki-editor is here.

hope that in future editions, the editors of Santander Meetings make a self-criticism, positive, and give an opportunity for new talents in editing, that those "new winds" revitalize the debate and reflection, which for lack of ideas (no matter of age, but speech-generating capacity) is waning and doomed the industry Booby the insipidness and melancholy.

Although the match is always pleasant colleagues and friends in a beautiful setting "such as Palacio de la Magdalena after the days has been a life full of melancholy tone and insipidness due to low specific gravity in general have had a few sessions devoted to taking stock (poor) and to look ahead (few) for a sector, and publishing the book, needed to cries of "new life" as the FGEE President himself said in closing session.


do not claim a detailed account of the sessions. Of all the papers, some of them the result of improvisation, some brilliant (as Jesus Bader), the one that caught our attention, not only because it was pride, but because it provided a flawless documentation and background themes for reflection, was that of Ms. Rosalina Diaz, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Spain. Their paper, in the round table intended for issue of new technologies and intellectual property, headed by Rafael Martínez Ales, and senior Julian Viñuales and José Antonio Millán as co-presenters (pictured), had precisely the title "The new publishing technologies and their impact on intellectual property."


Rosalina Diaz, in an illustrious period of reflection on the future facing the world of books, said the five trends that are transforming the traditional book business:
  1. Technological innovation: with Paulato a dizzying and improvement of ebooks, with increased search capabilities of major search engines, and a decrease in the cost of POD.


  2. The customization: offering the possibility of acquiring content collected or chapters, customizing compilations with your own content and customized covers, opening new market opportunities, particularly academia.


  3. shredded Content consumption: promoting the sale of individual chapters, sections or items, short-term subscriptions, or free offer the entire contents of a book in digital format and sell the same content in additional formats.


  4. Commitment / Collaboration: promoting the process of creating and editing.


  5. enrichment / expansion, we are seeing a meat processing plant of the object "book", which is experienced as material losses for rich content.
As an illustration, Rolasina Diaz said a number of examples for each of these trends, new business lines that have emerged in the shadow of new technologies and new consumer habits:


  1. Customization: platforms like of McGraw-Hill Primis, Falt World Knowledge or MijnWebboek.be . The customization is that Users can be done as a book to read on screen, with the possibility of desktop publishing on paper.


  2. shredded Content: platforms such as Taylor & Francis eBookstore , SpringerLink , Cengage iChapters , Chegg or Bookswin . The user can buy chapters ueltos or fragments, or print the paper book with huge discounts.


  3. Collaboration: platforms such as Safari , West Law School Exchange , Connexions, Merlot where active Board Index, as prosumer, in the creation and subsequent editing of content.


  4. Enrichment platforms such as ImageCONSULT , thevisualMD , MyMathLab or Aplio , where the user has text and images enriches for consultation, study and learning on line.

New technologies applied to the book sector which are transcending borders and legal materials object "book" in which the sector is still corseted. Are the same limitations, lack of vision, do one of the speakers at Santander said that Wikipedia is just one of the online encyclopedias available, with the difference that it acts as a Robin Hood who steals from the editors to give readers, if Wikipedia is anything but an online encyclopedia to use, but a knowledge community that bases its rationale in the proactive collaboration of users.



Comments like this make clear that some of our elders are not understanding the emergence of a new paradigm that will affect profoundly serious and every day of the actors of the book, from authors to booksellers, inevitably from a brutal transformation of the distribution, and, of course, a redesign of the business channels and rationale of the editors. Not to mention the impact on reading habits and types. This is not to be fascinated by gadgets and new technologies. We are not witnessing a technological change but cultural change that will have economic consequences.

futures editing pass, therefore, to be opened to new possibilities with an entrepreneurial spirit, without, of course, to continue doing things right on paper. In that vein, interventions such as Javier Pradera surprised by the perplexity and amazement that was before, and not so recent entry into the market of many small and independent publishers. The answer was given by Jorge Herralde, which our ancestors was the most successful not only to praise the excellent work that these independent publishers are doing (in Spain and Latin America), with their care catalogs and paper editions, but to give a touch of attention to the audience before the arrival of "new paradigm." The wiki-editor is here.

hope that in future editions, the editors of Santander Meetings make a self-criticism, positive, and give an opportunity for new talents in editing, that those "new winds" revitalize the debate and reflection, which for lack of ideas (no matter of age, but speech-generating capacity) is waning and doomed the industry Booby the insipidness and melancholy.

How To Write A Letter To The Community



The battle has begun: as Kurosawa and masterfully portrayed in his film Ran (1985), the Ichimonji clan is at war and the heirs of the great Hidetora arranged in battle formation to start.

The agreement Santillana-Random- Metro with rights agencies to provide a platform for the purchase of digital rights is a story that has trimmed concern for independent publishing. When large agree not to become an NGO to identify and mark but playing to an emerging market. Here are some of the statements that are poured into the press release, and following the same reflections that we considered:


1. 'Market through bookstores by discharge codes. " If the process involves having to physically visit a bookstore to buy a card with which to turn, and from home, you download the ebook, it will end in failure. Tissue protection may involve load libraries are not transaction costs to the customer. Rather, we must think about starting a macroplataforma content that links to all libraries that wish, so that the customer can buy at your library through a common interface that connects the library with the macroplataforma, all without moving home. On the other hand, we must begin to wonder what value-added process will make the independent bookstore (as opposed to large supermarkets and chain bookstores) when marketing ebooks for download and payment by credit card or through any online payment . The moving outside a chain link must be based on the concept of "adding value", but do not forget that it does not add value added losses. We fully agree with the protection of libraries, but it seems essential to confirm what will add value to the process: digital marketing intensive depending on the specialties of each library?


2. "We will not pass over the editors. Be given the rights to publishers who already have on paper. " The smell tells us that this is a statement of intent to the gallery, and in a few months we will see a digital rights have either reached. No There's nothing surprising: as in the analog world, digital rights may be, in many cases, divided in terms of format, geographic areas, language, etc. This is no trivial issue. But why the authors are going to leave the digital rights in the hands of the agencies? Why not raise market them directly? The Network has facilitated everything from author to reader without intermediaries or exclusivity. This possibility is not science fiction. If the author-creator of content, expands its range from 10% today to a range of between 25% and 40%, will be in exchange for a strong decline in margins in other links value chain.


3. "Business very tight margins." The digital business is a business operating efficiency, with a brutal drop in prices down, particularly because the transaction costs tend to zero. The market will determine the thresholds and price brackets to the final consumer is considered acceptable and are willing to pay, so you will have to see what value it adds each link in the chain. Strong business and operational efficiency given that the margin should be sharing redesign, there will be very hard process of disintermediation. But, being the editor, "bank transfer in return for what?


4. "New players." The situation lends itself to the entry of new players, although, as Michael Porter would say, the business is unattractive in terms of margins. Be incorporated essentially online platforms with very low cost structures, a high operating efficiency and a large development to online marketing to groups and communities hypersegmented.

5. "Right now we have what can be conceptualized as an emerging market with a very low actual demand, without offering some added value." Jesús Badenes reason leads to point out how they are behaving Overseas, where major investments have been made but which is not a reasonable return. Seems sensible and cautious tempting clothes before going to invest huge amounts of money without certainty of reasonable return.


6. The possibilities of disintermediation not imply the cessation of the functions. It is important to conceptualize this issue. Numerous presentations of new digital gurus we have attended where you throw a Slide disintermediation opportunities with the new digital value chain poses. Are actually many different options that can make certain links may be removed. But this does not mean the disappearance of the functions: is possible that an author can sell their creations directly to the reader content, but then he will have to perform the duties of publisher, distributor and marketing director. Obviously, the shift value will move forward in the chain, being the crucial link in marketing. The distribution-per-download, will be a comodity. The decisive point of the value lies in the pull strategy to the end customer.


We believe that in the absence of absolute certainty in the digital issue, we will see many initiatives in the coming months, as a experiments and trials. For now, large groups begin to lead and define competitive rules. But what independent publishers? It imposes a short-term brainstorming sessions indepediente publishing on these topics, to design and develop a line of airy position.

In the absence of strategy, every direction looks good, even doing nothing until you see things more clearly may seem to some the smartest choice, but this inertia keeps MS hide fear and sentenced to a paradigm change .

DIFFUSE CRISIS AND THE BOOK: EXERCISES Funambule

The appearance Saturday in different modes of the first results on fiscal 2008 and an advance on the situation of the sector in first half of 2009 from the data provided by FGEE leads us to reflect on some of the issues that are targeted. The owner of the country could not be more forceful in the online tabloid that has characterized the "reflection" on the sector in recent months: "The book also adds to the crisis. After years of growth, sales fell 6% in the first half of 2009. "

line of argument of the holder and it seems wrong and gives us sufficient reason to disagree strongly. Recent years sector has grown by less than inflation, in fact, at constant prices the sector has decreased over the last ten years by 1.2%. See chart.


Conclusion: Let announced with great fanfare "growth" to speak directly of stagnation.
On the other hand, figures who venture in the first half of 2009-is it that they are "signs and projections" - state that there was only down 6%, despite that argues that, according to data from January and February, a 40% decline. The figure of 6% in the semester is therefore hardly credible (Would that in the remaining four months to offset the 40% decline, should have checked a chilling figure, which is not true).
The article also included statements by Michèle Chevallier-CEGAL, "which tells of a 25% decline in bookstores. From our point of view, the assessment of CEGAL seems much more realistic and objective, much more faithful to a reality that is very worrying.
effectively Returns have been huge, mainly because they have become the only corrective mechanism between supply and demand. Return overproduction is penalizing editorial that does not conform to actual demand. If not sold, the rational is returned, if not sold, the rational and prudent to buy and implement much lower amounts. If this all adds institutional shopping break and a late payment of management to libraries, the picture is worrisome.
"" The tendency is to recover ", as stated in the article? It is going to be no. Currently there are no green shoots, but lethargy and stagnation. It seems more than necessary and urgent to have a plan B, ie, a crisis plan in the industry. "The editorial spirit has played forever?

How Does The Wwe Travel




Yesterday we had the opportunity to meet with Tiziana Finzi, director of the Miami International Film Festival. After directing several film festivals in Europe, Tiziana has moved to wet to revolutionize the city, with its particular experimental mind, the format of the festival. Tiziana wanted to know because it is integrating the visual arts exhibition and knows first hand the recent creation of the Tenerife Film Commission and the plethora of film festivals that bathe the islands. Cultural passenger sees the opportunity he was looking to boost the presence of filmmakers canaries in the various sections of the event featuring short films, cutting the edge, documentaries and big productions.
I remain, however, in the spirit and charm of his personality. Tiziana is an oasis of sophistication in the middle of Miami.

How To Make Popuri With Just A An Oil Of Scent

THE DIGITAL PANORAMA: BEYOND THE EBOOKS

For anyone interested in the issue of reader-ebooks-apparatus is clear that currently reside on the market, or are about to appear, a set of devices with similar features, but have failed to turning a curve that allows them to have a significant market share, so that still fails to impose a pileup on the other (for now). Let's see: iLiad, Papyre , Sony Reader, Cybook , Hanlin, jetBook , iRex , TXTR , Fujitsu or Kindle.

Beyond polemics and demagoguery, and beyond the speeches (apocalyptic or integrated) to booksellers, distributors and publishers, who are still not very reflective and substantially opaque (in ignorance) to the digital environment, here we are essentially talking about " consumer electronics. " Pottery that responds to a cultural universe away from the logic in that (yet) is the backbone of the book sector, however subject to a trade war in which the apparatus is not always triumphs is the best.

is also expected that the devices "very closed, proprietary technology," as the case of the Kindle, can not settle in the European market. Making guesses and assumptions on which can occur in a "months?, It seems reasonable to think that in the English market will be a couple of readers of consumer appliances and horizontal use, on the one hand, and two or three pots sophisticated targeting professional segments with a level of performance and connectivity much higher, on the other.

us a question arises: turning the corner on the market "come from the support or mass production content? In our case we are using the Sony Reader PRS 700 to read PDF files, but not for reading electronic books, among other things because there is in the English market.

Obviously this issue is not central or critical to publishers, especially in the short term, as they have demonstrated the tangible resistance to dealing with these issues or their marginalization over other issues "priority" or "urgent" , over union draft, by some English publishers. Even some digital item shipped it down to " electrography " (a concept from the Copy-Art the 80 original, difficult to apply to the ebook and marketing of digital content), which not only denotes a blatant disregard of the technological revolution to which we will attend as an imminent, but a biased position that generates a false and Manichean debate paper versus digital .

The massive presence of editors in the Publidisa Forum a few weeks ago makes us think that we can attend a mass in the medium-term positioning of the editors on this issue. The battle of the ebook market is indifferent to the pottery that it imposes but not with respect to mass production of quality content, especially in the areas and subjects more likely to pull the short-term market: law, medicine, economics, marketing, technical book, academics, university.
In that sense, it is understandable concern among publishers of books (on paper) scientific-technical, who are threatening their traditional niches and sales channels. Initiatives such as the Enclave -BNE Publishers, driven by FGEE DILVE and with the collaboration of the National Library are first steps (by way of first refusal or field testing) of the "digital pipeline" that every editor will face in the coming months.

digital environment in the upcoming book, there are two basic approaches that should be clear about the publishing business: to participate actively in the new paradigm will produce content "multiple media" and "multi-device" on the one hand, and development platforms integration with libraries such as prescription and distribution channel, on the other. State of Denial or closed in-band digital language is to give back to a world that grows daily and we are all, like it or not, called to integrate.
