摘要

The emerging ebook industry is built on the well-established base of quality reading products that has existed since Gutenberg first turned books into a mass market opportunity with movable type. Book publishing is a mature industry producing quality products for a strong, reliable customer base served by a clear, efficient distribution system. One of the clear hallmarks of ebooks has been the expansion of consumer options. Content is no longer tethered to the printed page any more than it is chained to library walls. Today, consumers can buy hardcover, paperback, e-reader, or other device-delivered service or as snippets through Google Books, publisher sites, Amazon's "Look Inside," and similar services. Publishers are beginning to test options for content delivery — as, increasingly, are authors themselves. Yesterday's publishing system is dying, today's may be quite transitory, and no one can predict the future of publishing with any certainty. All we know for sure is that, today, we have unprecedented consumer choice.
