威胁 [THE THREAT]

New players New players might weaken traditional publishers Big companies that have entered the book market are several times larger than traditional publishers and booksellers. This might bring the risk of weakening or even eliminating such traditional enterprises. The important knowledge of content publishing and distribution might be lost in the process.

挑战 [THE CHALLENGE]

Digital Digital does not make readers Access is not enough to create readers. Smartphone and tablet users will not read more simply because they can access books from their devices.

困境 [THE DILEMMA]

versus Smartphones & Tablets versus dedicated eReaders It is not clear if dedicated eReaders will reach the same success in other countries as they did in the USA. The lack of heavy readers in countries such Brazil and the fact that the Kindle and similar devices were launched after the iPhone may play an important and defining role.

教育 [THE EDUCATION]

educational market The educational market is a real challenge for digital publishing Although huge and able to grab substantial government budgets, the K12 market is far from becoming a digital one. Basically, it still depends on state educational regulations and digital adoption. High education, although less regulated, has not been adopting digital books at the expected rate. College students seem to be reticent to dive into eReading. Brazilian market in consummer prices (2013): ¥ 18,5 bi ¥ 13,0 bi Brazilian Publishers’ revenues:p ¥ 13,0 bi ¥ 3,60 bi Brazilian Government purchases: ¥ 3,60 bi 27,6% Government share in publishers’ revenues: 27,6% 47,76% K12 share in publishers’ revenues: 47,76% Brazil is the 10 th largest book market in the world.

童书 [THE CHILDREN]

app market The costly app market challenges the digital economics. While eBooks are cheap to produce and can be sold for higher print- related cover prices, Android and iOS apps are expensive to be developed and need to be sold very cheaply. This is the main challenge for the children digital publishers. After all, any digital content for children must have a minimum level of interactivity.

云计算 [THE CLOUD]

successes failures The successes and failures of cloud-based libraries Cloud-based content libraries in Netflix-style are here to last. After all, the all-you-can-read model is very attractive to the consumer. The challenge, however, is to find a business model that allow publishers to keep their revenues or, at least, their profitability.

希望 [THE HOPE]

publishers tech companies A future where publishers and tech companies unite forces A health digital future in publishing will only exist if the publishers’ expertise and traditional knowledge is combined with the tech companies’ developments and boldness. We must search for the best of both worlds.
