The Future of Electronic Publications

First case report for the "The Information Society in Spain" project, which addresses the issue of electronic publications. The field of electronic publications and the entire ecosystem that surrounds them represents the last link in the digitalisation process of the content consumption experience. Video, music and photography have already walked this path and now it is books, magazines and newspapers that are being dragged into this transformation process that will yield new and interesting scenarios. The ecosystem of electronic publications will meet, in short, current players in the publishing and digital world, who will shape different business models which have not yet been defined. Current agents will play new roles and new models that had not been possible until now, but that have been created thanks to technology. Moreover, invoicing models will evolve, the most common being advertising-funded Freemium models, Premium versions, payment for partial content, flat rates, etc., and also the possibility of printing on demand thanks to personalised printers. Undoubtedly, new technologies open a new way of reading that has already dubbed "digital reading".
