eBook in Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishing CALIS 2008 Dr. Lee Chi Wai World Scientific Publishing

What is an eBook? It is a digital equivalent of a conventional printed book, with added functionality in electronic media.

eBook Advantages Advantages: – easy to manage and distribute – search and hyperlinking function – Text-to-Speech for visually impaired readers – environmentally friendlier

eBook Disadvantages Disadvantages (temporary?): – not readily available anytime, anywhere – not necessary the best reading medium – more restrictions like DRM and eBook format compatibility issues

World Scientific’s eBook Program Phase 1: 1st Generation – convert printed book to electronic format Phase 2: 2nd Generation – publish electronic book from scratch that make use of available technologies in electronic medium, like interactive multimedia, collaboration, feedback etc., and allow the book to “evolve”

World Scientific’s eBook Program Phase 3: 3rd Generation – not a “book” by itself anymore, but just records of information and contents that live in the electronic medium

1st Generation eBook Requirements: – resemble the printed version in organisation but with added functionality (e.g. DOI, bookmarks, detailed graphics, search, etc.)‏ – can be easily viewed and downloaded in parts or as a whole – in standard formats that can seamlessly integrate with other electronic contents like eJournals and eProceedings

eBook Issues Copyright Infringement or Fair Use? – Considerations purpose & character of the use nature of the copyrighted work amount of the work used effect of the use upon the potential market of the copyrighted work – Understanding and Communication

eBook Issues Misconception on eBook price vs. print book price – more expensive infrastructure and skill set required to produce eBook – current eBook business model is not simply an one-off sales transaction – ongoing update/upgrade on contents and infrastructure – others, e.g. single copy with multiple access
