Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre From printed books to e-books: (cultural) costs and benefits Gino Roncaglia Università della Tuscia

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre An (almost) reassuring view... printed book and e-text are natural allies...

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre An (almost) reassuring view... Printed books offer: best reading experience unsurpassed ergonomics physical durability (under conditions) well-established models for rights management trusted source

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre An (almost) reassuring view... E-texts offer: tools for text manipulation, analysis, search, encoding… easy distribution and duplication few physical constraints digital durability (under conditions) multimedia integration

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre An (almost) reassuring view......the pros of one medium are often the cons of the other

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre An (almost) reassuring view... a recent (interesting) example...

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre The e-book threat... e-books seem both to stem from and to threaten this alliance ?

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre What is an e-book? Four wrong or only partial answers e-book = electronic text of a book e-book = electronic text simulating the layout of a book e-book = portable reading device e-book = oxymoron

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre What is an e-book? To get a good e-book we need electronic text (encoded, marked-up and with added metadata) user-friendly (hardware) reading device user friendly (software) reading interface

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre Is the e-book a threat? the e-book is a challenge to the ergonomic perfection of printed books the e-book aims to be an evolution of our (book-centered) cultural tradition if the ergonomic challenge is won, the e-book might actually pose a threat to printed books (not to books as cultural media)

Roncaglia - Roma, 17 novembre Is the e-book a threat? But there is a real threat: the de-objectification of the book due to the fluidity of electronic texts (and hypertexts) due to the perspective of web- based e-books due to software obsolescence due to turn-it-into-ebook tools (most important) due to rent-a- book policies of Digital Rights Management (DRM) Book?
