威胁[THE THREAT]

New players might weaken traditional publishersBig companies that have entered the book market are several times larger than traditional publishers and booksellers. This might bring the risk of weakening or even eliminating such traditional enterprises. The important knowledge of content publishing and distribution might be lost in the process.

挑战[THE CHALLENGE]

Digital does not make readersAccess is not enough to create readers. Smartphone and tablet users will not read more simply because they can access books from their devices. The increase of readership will still depend on other factors.

困境[THE DILEMMA]

Smartphones & Tablets versus dedicated eReadersIt is not clear if dedicated eReaders will reach the same success in other countries as they did in the USA. The lack of heavy readers in countries such Brazil and the fact that the Kindle and similar devices were launched after the iPhone may play an important and defining role.

战役[THE BATTLE]

How seven publishers beat Amazon in BrazilThe story of the seven Brazilian publishers that joined forces to launch a digital agreggator for eBooks and forced Amazon to accept conditions that the Seattle giant would never accept otherwise. By contract.

威胁[THE TRADE]

Trade books leads the growth in the western digital marketTrade books are the real stars when one looks at the digital market. The market share of digital trade books has grown exponentially. Now it seems to be reaching a plateau.

教育 [THE EDUCATION]

The educational market is a real challenge for digital publishingAlthough huge and able to grab substantial government budgets, the K12 market is far from becoming a digital one. Basically, it still depends on state educational regulations and digital adoption.

High education, although less regulated, has not been adopting digital books at the expected rate. College students seem to be reticent to dive into eReading.

童书[THE CHILDREN]

The costly app market challenges the digital economics.While eBooks are cheap to produce and can be sold for higher print-related cover prices, Android and iOS apps are expensive to be developed and need to be sold very cheaply. This is the main challenge for the children digital publishers. After all, any digital content for children must have a minimum level of interactivity.

云计算[THE CLOUD]

The successes and failures of cloud-based librariesCloud-based content libraries in Netflix-style are here to last. After all, the all-you-can-read model is very attractive to the consumer. The challenge, however, is to find a business model that allow publishers to keep their revenues or, at least, their profitability.

希望[THE HOPE]

A future where publishers and tech companies unite forcesA health digital future in publishing will only exist if the publishers’ expertise and traditional knowledge is combined with the tech companies’ developments and boldness. We must search for the best of both worlds.
