Is it good time to buy an e-reader?

Although readers are now a commercial reality, publishers and distributors are still in process of adaptation.
In recent months there have been launched in various worldwide initiatives to boost the ebook, with Google at the center of controversy. At the same time, have flooded the market several devices like Kindle, book reader from Amazon online store or Nook, the novelty of the editorial Barnes and Noble. Meanwhile, the big bookstore chains and publishers working to adapt to new sales channel and to create a business model based on the digital copies. Is it already time to buy an e-reader or the user will notice a lack of titles in Castilian and inefficiency in sales? A revealing of the immaturity of the business is that while the paper book VAT in Spain stays at 4%, the mail up to 16%, since there is no consideration of cultural thing. [Update 18 December: The electronic book VAT will be reduced from 16% to 4%]

A model for industry. The most recurrent pattern in the history of the electronic book is failure. Since the early seventies of last century began to develop various initiatives to digitize publications, most of the proposals have resulted in a resounding flop. The lack of appropriate technology such as electronic ink, market failure and lack of optimized devices have been several of the factors fueling the divorce between readers and the electronic device. However, in recent years technological advances in devices, media and markets, with the success of online booksellers like Amazon, have reversed the downward trend flawed and it appears that such investment is final. It is estimated that within two years 15% of the business of publishing will be done through the digital channel. For 2019, it is expected that e-books or electronic books outsold the traditional support role. It is estimated that within two years 15% of the business of publishing will be done through the digital channel

In Europe, the company Grammata is the only market which has a book reading device with an electronic book store on line, a model followed in most cases. The device Papyrer 6 had net sales of 4,500 units in 2008, while in 2009 expects to end the year with over 50,000 devices sold, through its marketing arrangements with supermarkets and distributors. It shows the changes, but perhaps too slowly. Under the shadow of Emule.
At present, it is not clearly defined business model proposed by the industry for this sector, but is expected to be similar to developed for music sales by companies like Apple with its iTunes Music Store and iPod player . Anyway, there is no certainty that this proposal will be accepted by the public. While success stories like the online store of books from Amazon, resting on its Kindle device 2 may pave the way for publishers and distributors, the fact is that the estimated price for electronic books, generates large sectoral debate. Its cost is similar to the paper book, not being a physical object, and sometimes only licensed for use rather than ownership rights, since it has anti-copy systems, you can cancel the purchase to the first customers.

In countries like Spain, the ebook was not considered a cultural product until recently, as the paper version with a reduced VAT rate of 4% In countries like Spain, the electronic book is not even considering cultural product, like his brother of paper, with a reduced VAT of 4%. [Update 18 December: The electronic book VAT will be reduced from 16% to 4%] Users, therefore, could find, some already do, other ways to access electronic books, such as digitization and homemade free distribution on P2P networks or direct exposure to reading websites. It is an experience that have gone before recording and film industries, mired in very severe crisis, and that the publishing industry does not want to repeat.  In the United States where the electronic book does not involve payment of VAT, Amazon sets the standard for the sale price of $ 9.99 titles in English. Other initiatives could accept this figure, as has happened with the price of digital songs sold through iTunes, which have set the price range for other platforms.

However, there is no reason why the book market is like the music: it has many users, is more elitist, but also has best-seller lists, and its consumption is not so immediate. In addition, to counter the proposals of Amazon, Google appeared with its massive digitization project books, first in the U.S. and in Europe, for sale on line.
This initiative has generated much controversy on both sides of the Atlantic and led to associations such as the Open Book Alliance, seeking to stop it by legal means the risk of monopoly claim. Without going into reasons, the fact is that this battle helps to delay further the maturity of a market that does not stop being born and from which the user is the main victim. Acquire an electronic book reader may be interesting, but to know what can be done with it and what is impossible.

Advantages and disadvantages. Using an electronic book reader, or e-reader, instead of a computer, has many advantages and can be a good alternative to multiple formats. First, electronic books using a technology called E-Ink (electronic ink) that, unlike other display systems such as LCD or Plasma, it emits light or causes reflections, allowing its use to daylight . The weight of the device is less than 300 grams, while a laptop weighs a minimum of one kilogram. The weight of the device is less than 300 grams (depending on model), while a laptop weighs at least one kilogram. Moreover, while the battery of a laptop computer between three and five hours, a machine-readable displays between 6,000 and 10,000 pages without its battery is depleted, ie works for several weeks.

Another important aspect is its connectivity. The most basic models have a USB port and a memory card slot, which connects to a computer to store text files. The most advanced feature wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi or 3G, as in the case of the Kindle. The use of 3G connectivity is subject exclusively to an Internet connection through the Amazon store, an aspect which is a major drawback. lso one must consider health benefits, as the computer screen reading tires the sight due to the backlight, needed to display the image, the refresh rate. This last detail is consciously imperceptible to the human eye, but it forces the light and produces eyestrain and itchy eyes after a while in front of the monitor. Electronic ink leads a comfortable reading and even more relaxed than a traditional book

Electronic ink, however, bases its operation in electrically charged spherical particles through a small stream. It causes vary your tone depending on the load applied to each area. The particles that have not received loads are off and not show any color or shade of gray. Therefore, only energy-particles used to compose each letter. This technology enables a standard resolution of 800 pixels x 600 pixels, the screen has about 170 dots per inch compared to 150 dots per inch in a printed book. This translates into a comfortable reading and even more relaxed than in a traditional book. In addition, people with vision problems can increase the font size for comfortable reading.

Disadvantages. Despite his outspoken advantages electronic ink suffers from a certain immaturity, with problems of slowness in time to refresh a page, because the speed of loading and unloading of the particles is very slow compared to the refresh rate of a screen LCD. For this reason, this technology is unable to support video playback or display quality photographic images. The act of turning the page on electronic ink is a fairly lengthy process time for the business investment in innovation will influence this ability is achieved sooner or later. This investment is largely tied to market development and the increased volume of sales of both devices as electronic books. The system is revealed as a fish biting its tail. So far, the readings are somewhat deficient, which does not help increase sales. Now read books on an e-reader may be more tedious to do on paper.

Moreover, in Spain, unresolved issues related to digitization and the sale of books. Today, buying e-books "is taxed as a commodity, within the paragraphs of goods and services. It represents a premium of 16% VAT, compared to 4% reduced VAT applied to staples, paper books and newspapers. In the U.S., electronic books in general (though it depends on each state) are exempted from VAT. This will undoubtedly grab the lead to stores selling electronic books outside the borders of the European Union, especially Spain, until legislation is changed. The only solution to protect the European product is vetoing the purchase abroad, but with the risk that this only encourages non-commercial exchange on P2P networks.

Format Compatibility. A digitized text is reproduced in various formats. The problem for users is that not all devices open eBook reading all modalities. Before purchasing an e-reader is recommended to make sure it is compatible with the files you want to play or buy in a shop on line. Before purchasing an e-reader is recommended to make sure it is compatible with files to be played The official standard promoted by the publishing industry is the EPUB format. This is also the format chosen by Google for its digital library, which is advantageous for devices that can play, being compatible with the millions of books that includes the draft form. Devices that are compatible with EPUB highlight the e-Reader from Sony, iRex Iliad, Hanlin V3, Inves-600 and Papyrer 6.1.

Other formats for playback Mobipocket eBooks are (also known as Mobi), TXT, PDF, JPG and HTML. Some devices also reproduce files in Word DOC format. For audio, the MP3 format is the most widely used audio books, while Kindle has only Audible audiobooks. Different applications, such as Caliber, help users manage their electronic libraries and serve as a converter between formats to enable playback of different sources to a system compatible with the user's device. Kindle: bit compatible. Kindle is not compatible with EPUB and books purchased from Amazon have a proprietary format called "kindle" particular device exclusive to Amazon. These books are made with anti-copying systems for digital rights management, which may have restricted the recording to other devices Kindle and reduce the user's freedom to play anywhere.

The growing demand for electronic book readers portends a revolution in the way that will access the novels and textbooks

Not long ago began to see music lovers with its extensive collection of blues records. Internalized certain that were destined to disappear with the advent of MP3 and portable devices capable of playing it. Those shelves full of vinyl and CDs were going to see soon condensed players like the iPod. There could be any music.

The bibliophiles may also face sooner or later would their libraries through the hoop of digitization. At that time already begun to highlight several initiatives focused on the digitization of the works free of copyright, such as Project Gutenberg, to offer them free on the Web a few years later he presented Google Print initiative, which the search proposed digitize 15 million books in 10 years.
A long-awaited return

Unlike what happened with the music, the format change in the literary world is taking longer than expected. While the quality of a song just drop the CD to MP3, it is still much more comfortable to read on paper than on conventional screens (on the phone or computer). But the arrival of the first readers of "electronic ink", led by Amazon's Kindle device (which for many will be electronic books what the iPod digital music players), begins to crack many of the prejudices and reluctance.

An electronic book no longer a cheap computer, similar in size to a small thin book, but that does not have a conventional screen, but one of 'electronic ink', which does not tire the eyes and that just seems to conventional. The LCD computer screens emit light and offer little definition because the image is being generated continually, no matter that we are watching a video or reading a document subject is being regenerated dozens of times per second. The screens of "electronic ink" are composed of many color balls that rotate on each side depending on the image you want to show (like a mosaic in the stands of a stadium). Thus, the image is static until you move from sheet, resulting in a more relaxed view and uses minimal battery (sample spends only when another leaf, that is, when you change the orientation of the balls). An e-book can operate for weeks without needing to recharge electricity.
Kindle's business

The end result is devices such as Kindle, which markets the online commerce giant Amazon ($ 299, about 215 euros); Papyrer, the company sells Grammata Spanish (299 euros) Sony Reader (between 350 and 500 euros depending on model ) or iRex Iliad (550 euros). They look, weight and size of an average size book, but they are small computers with flat screen and few buttons to handle it. These and other devices sold to the general public have generated in the U.S. and the countries of northern Europe a large appetite for electronic literature.

Suddenly, demand for digital versions of books found in bookstores has soared, to the surprise of the publishers who have their rights. In the Anglo-Saxon publishing world the answer has been rapid and has agreed a closed business model in which the reader Kindle is sold on condition that the books are bought only by the official channel and copy systems. Subsequently, Amazon and other manufacturers of readers shared profits with publishers by sales volume. Modeled is a model that Apple applies to its iPod music player and its iTunes Music Store. The main drawback: it reduces the options of buying books outside of the services requested. The big advantage is that it has served to diminish the apprehensions of publishers and get into line to digitize their books. Without them, readers are not much equipment. Thus, supply of electronic books in English is extensive and current, although they miss many classic titles. Even Google is trying to get into the business relying on the Sony Reader and offering its own catalog of works, called Google Book Search.

Last July, Amazon unilaterally deleted the book '1984 'by the user devices by legal disputes.  Last July, Amazon unilaterally deleted the book '1984 'by the user devices after a dispute with the publishing company. Due to pressure from users, promised never again to check out books after the sale. An electronic book reader on the market costs about 300 euros. It is cheaper for the public. It is estimated that in the coming years the price will stabilize at around 100 euros and will be free for users to commit to buying as usual on a particular shelf of books on line.

E-ink color: The immediate future of electronic ink comes from the hand of color. Different companies have prototypes that display a wide range of tones. The different developments of electronic ink display up to 4,096 colors.

iPad: the best option?

Apple launches 10-inch multi-touch device that competes with other similar and interesting. On 27 January, Apple announced its tablet PC finally after years of rumors in the industry. The iPad, a name chosen for the device, uses a modified version of the iPhone operating system, known as iPhone OS to enable applications and designed for this device are compatible with it. Therefore be considered an expanded version of the popular phone, which adds several innovations. Apple, which wants iPad and iPhone complement but do not shade, believes that the current "netbooks" cheap are computers that do not do well any tasks for which they are intended. His proposal is midway between these and the e-book readers.

"Electronic book, computer or phone? The iPad is a hybrid that can do a wildcard for many functions, so in theory threat to other devices that are already established in the market. Just knowing he had left, many media have called a competitor of electronic book readers, the ultraportable computers and 3G phones. In fact, meets all characteristics but surpasses them in principle clearly in their own fields, since there appears a special apparatus. Anyway, from now on will have time to show how far Apple's new creation. Among its technical features highlights the use of microprocessor developed by Apple A4 a multi-gigahertz and a 9.7 inch screen, LED backlight with IPS technology and a resolution of 1024 pixels x 768 pixels. This screen allows a viewing angle of up to 178 degrees (nearly horizontal), which gives the device great potential.

The same can be used vertically or horizontally. The first is suitable for web browsing, email and office applications. The second position is designed for viewing videos and pictures. Also, include a feature where the device acts as a frame and display digital photos in an album preset by the user. But its use as e-book reader reaches a certain limit, which can tire the eye faster than devices based on electronic ink, like the Amazon Kindle. The iPad can do wildcard for many functions, but not a specialist in any of them. The battery, Apple says will run for ten hours of music playback, video or while surfing the Internet via WiFi, which gives it advantages of wide autonomy from laptops and tablet PCs, but its dimensions screen, although they have all the advantages of multi-technology make it inhospitable to working with him intensively.

Furthermore, iPad will ship with different types of storage based on flash memory: 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes, conditions not far removed from the iPhone and does not add excessive weight, which is in its portability. The network connectivity it closer to a mobile phone than a computer, since this is wifi and 3G. The latter will not be on all devices, but devices that it will have wifi and GPS, but does not serve to make voice calls.
Lightweight and thin. The iPad measures 242 mm x 187 mm, with a thickness of 13.4 millimeters. The weight for the model with wifi is 680 grams, while the wifi and 3G model rises to 730 grams. This lightness makes it very portable given their size, anything below a din A4 sheet. Its lightness makes it very portable given their size, anything below a din A4 sheet

Along with access to the Internet via wifi 802.11n (more modern protocol) and 3G, the iPad has Bluetooth 2.1 (some devices on the market already have version 3.0) and a 30-pin connector (the classic and iPod connector Apple iPhone). Through this connector, and through an adapter that will be marketed independently, may have video output, but limited to 576p. In principle lacks options such as a webcam, although the devices can connect to a monitor to increase the visibility of your desktop. Apple also will release an add external keyboard to use the iPad from a desktop. On a positive note, the iPad complete with speakers, microphone and audio output for headphones (3.5 mm) and an accelerometer that has made the iPhone popular, light sensor and digital compass. Among the prominent absences, is the photo and video camera and digital video outputs such HMDI or DisplayPort.

Operating Systems and Applications. One criticism more pronounced by experts is that iPad not using a computer operating system, but to Apple mobile devices. The justification for the company to install a customized version of the iPhone operating system, not Mac OS X, the system for computers marketed brand of apple, is that it allows current users of iPhone and iPod Touch can use the new device with a familiar graphical environment. The more than 140,000 applications available for iPhone and iPod Touch will also be compatible with the iPad. In addition, more than 140,000 applications available for iPhone and iPod Touch will also be compatible with the iPad. These may be implemented on current resolution -320 pixels x 480 pixels or resized to fill the entire screen, thus distorting the image. For developers, Apple has made available a SDK development environment to create and adapt applications for the iPad. Thus, many of the most successful applications of iPhone and iPod Touch will also have a iPad version when it launches to the market.
