Several issues blocking era of electronic publishing
Electronic Publications will be razed to the ground of traditional book publishing it? In this year of the cultural meeting, a large number of electronic publishing of Press and Publication Fair Information occupy the main hall location, seemed to herald an era of electronic publishing.
More interesting is that many e-publishers have their products name "electric paper book", probably want to pass such a message, these products not only have the characteristics of e-books, along with the advantages of paper books.
From "e-book" to "electronic paper book", one word, which embodies a very contradictory feelings. While electronic hard disk seems to be able to accommodate wider world, on the other hand, the electronic screen is just a small window, no matter how wonderful the world inside the audience's perspective can only be a palm-sized, with a telescope is like gotta see the world There is always some inconvenience.
In Museology at the meeting, I try to use some "electric paper book" sample, found that "electronic paper book" Another characteristic is the feeling of touch on the paper copy. The hands seem to get is not an electronic browser, but a real "book." Indeed seems to electronic publications in this area a lot of effort to eliminate the existence of electronic reading some disadvantages.
But in reality, electronic publications at present seems far from occupying the mainstream, despite the growth of the allegedly very good, but not really like electronic publishing some data as shown strong momentum. Now, e-books there are still some unresolved problems, some problems may never be solved.
"Electric paper books," the appearance of trying to "paper feel" to eliminate a contradiction of consumers that have a similar feel of paper, paper books can be obtained with the use of feelings as to eliminate the e-book and the difference between paper books.
In my opinion, this is not a positive way. Because e-books and paper books are two entirely different things, such limits can never be eliminated. E-book should go to efforts to develop the unique advantages of electronic reading, not to imitate the paper books, so oppositely, it may make e-books in a disadvantageous position.
In participating in these electronic publications, but also found some other issues. For instance, major issue "paper" that blue paper, white papers, books, there is the ancient books.
Now electronic publications issued in these ancient medical classics occupy more than half of the Chinese culture is some biased some of the titles may be subject to copyright or other factors about: Chinese culture-based books to primary school class, but few bibliography of primary school classes, and note the various edition of "Origin of Chinese Characters" actually account for a majority. In addition, only "set rhyme", "Rhyme", "Gu usurped by the membership" and a small number of species as a supplement. In short, electronic distribution of ancient books is far from a system, or a classic era of state for jobs.
Moreover, the use of these books have a high threshold, the price per disc almost 200 yuan. To "usurp Gu Jing Ji" for example, Social Science Documentation Publishing House of CD-ROM price 200 yuan, while Zhonghua copy version of the book needs more than 300 yuan. A simple will sell a CD-ROM with more than 300 yuan of Huang Huang 2 giant books than in the end who will have more market value, is not difficult to imagine.
Electronic publishing has always been to lower the threshold for the appeal, a category the threshold too high, would restrict their development?
In addition, if the CD-ROM version of the search more convenient, but the content provided on CD-ROM is very reliable and trustworthy? This is still a problem now. If you need to further define, in the search after reading the CD-ROM and hard copy were needed to confirm, then electronic publishing are crippled up.
The reliability of electronic data, if not after a major incident, which may be difficult to have a major breakthrough, it is unlikely to be fully endorsed by the academic community. This situation, I am afraid that in the next five years are difficult to change, this is an electronic publishing industry most need to overcome the problem. This, even if the data's people agreed. Network Scholarly articles on the role of information dissemination has only, if as a scholarly reference, needs to return to the traditional operation and return to paper media, but also marked the Issue of paper media, page, text is also subject of paper media.
They may not be out than to "electronic paper book" is much more important. Not to overcome these problems, regardless of the economic growth of electronic publishing data on how gratifying, occupy much of the market, I am afraid they can not prove we have entered the era of electronic publishing.
