When the end of the year approaches it is full of predictions about what 2013 will be like in this or that field. I too have planned a post of this kind for the afternoon of December 31st. These are not, at least in my case, real predictions: there are no seers, magicians and the like. It is, I think, more about hopes and wishes that things can change for the better. What will digital publishing be like in 2013? I'll rephrase the question: what would I like digital publishing to be like in 2013? In my opinion there are quite a few problems currently with the digitization of books. Problems that slow down - or even hinder - the diffusion of the ebook, its appreciation, the very acceptance of the ebook as a book in all respects.
There are many reasons and they are not attributable to the ebook as a product, but to the producers and retailers of the ebook. But they exist and today's reader has to deal with those reasons that ruin digital publishing and make general publishing still backward. 7 reasons that make an ebook inferior to a paper book Many people think that ebooks are superior to paperbacks, but in my opinion it's the opposite. The condition of the ebook today means that the ebook is inferior to the paper book, for a series of reasons, seven in my Phone Number Data opinion, which I list below. Culture : ebook culture is missing. There are still people who appreciate paper on principle. There are those who don't trust them - and maybe they're not entirely wrong, in some cases - those who don't want them for other reasons.
It's his right, obviously. But in Italy, at least, in my opinion, the culture of innovation and progress is lacking. On the plane, next to me, I saw an elderly Norwegian couple reading ebooks on an ereader. How many elderly people do the same thing in Italy? Quality : often, if not almost always, professionalism is lacking in the creation of an ebook. I purchased several ebooks, some were free, and for the most part – yes, really almost all – they were sloppy, arranged, perhaps without covers. Reading here and there I saw that there are even more serious problems. I would like ebooks to be created by professionals in the sector and not by those who tinker with some little program.
