Notas do Editor
- A book is a technologyFormats change over time - stone tablets, papyrus, vellum scrolls, Gutenberg printing pressToday we have hard cover, soft cover, talking books on audiocassette, audio CD, mp3Formats coexisted for years and was a matter of choiceThe change from print book to e-book seems to be as disruptive as the change from hand written books to moveable type.
- Is a book defined primarily by its container or its content? Or both?What matters more, form or content?Do you prefer a specific type of container? Is an e-book a real book?Portability A book is long form writingUsing a font size of 12 points, at 25 lines per page, and about 10 words per lineTypical book is 80,000-100,000 words in lengthThat’s 320-400 pages in a typical sized book160 pages = 40,000 words500 pages = 125,000 wordsShort form writing digitized firstJournal articles began being digitized 15-20 years ago. They are short, easy to read on the computer screen, inexpensive to printStarted with current issues forward, later digitized back files.Read on equipment already had access to - computer screen through web browser or Adobe Reader
- E-books have been around a lot longer than e-readers1971, Project Gutenberg
- From their inception, e-books have always been readable through a computerEncyclopedias were very popular on CD-ROM in the 1980s and 1990s Reference books are easy to provide as searchable databases – not reading cover to cover, just want a small portion of the wholeBut not easily portable until late 1990s and late 2000s
- http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2012/04/04/the-rise-of-e-reading/Is reading for information different from recreational reading?
- Print books – Copyright protects owner’s right to print, copy, distribute, adapt the work, profit– Fair use allows teachers to use portions of works in instructional settings without violating copyright – most often this is about copying and distributing portions of works– Once you buy a print book you can do almost anything with it you wish (right of first sale) – this is what makes it possible for libraries to circulate materials– Lend it, copy it, write in it, gift it, sell it, donate it, destroy itE-books are licensed– Contract law trumps copyright law– In most cases, you lease access to but do not own the e-book– Do not have right of first sale – in most cases cannot lend, cannot copy, sell, or donate it– Digital Rights Management is the copyright holders attempt to prevent illegal use of their content (music industry has given up on DRM for the most part)
- 1998Rocketbook 4 MB or 4,000 pages would hold about 10 booksWeighed a little more than a poundCost $600Did not offer wireless downloadsPORTABILITY
- So with all of these options, how do you choose what is best for you?
- We have lots of choices today! Do your researchIt is easy to be swayed by techno-lust!Do you want or needs lots of separate devices or one device that does it all?
