A place for everything and everything in its place
Linda Bennett has co-ordinated this entry. This piece is by Christoph Chesher, Taylor & Francis. This is in response to the piece by David Parkes ’The Codex Book‘.
eBooks for most publishers currently represent between 5 and 6% of their total print book sales and whilst this is now beginning to ramp up considerably (growth estimates of between 30 and 50% are not uncommon) eBooks in the vast majority of cases remain as David Parkes says "simply digitised texts". Despite the huge array of possibilities that the electronic world afford us there is of course a very old fashioned reason for this: saleability, costs vs income and the risk to reward ratio.
