Text 7 History of e-books
By Marie Lebert31
The book is no longer what it used to be. The electronic book (ebook) was born in 1971, with the first steps of Project Gutenberg, a digital library for books from public domain. It is nearly 40years old, already. But this is a short life compared to the 5-century old print book. The internet went live in 1974, with the creation of the protocol TCP/IP by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. It began spreading in 1983 as a network for research centers and universities. It got its first boost with the invention of the web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, and itssecond boost with the release of the first browser Mosaic in 1993. From 1994 onwards, the internet quickly spread worldwide. In Bookland, people were reluctant, curious or passionate.
The internet didn't bring print media, movies, radio or television to an end. It created its own space as a new medium, to get information, access documents, broaden our knowledge and communicate across borders and languages. Booksellers began selling books online within and outside their home country, offering excerpts on their websites.
Libraries began creating websites as a "virtual" window, as well as digital libraries stemming from their print collections. Librarians helped patrons to surf on the web without being drowned, and to find the information they needed at a time search engines were less accurate. Library catalogs went online. Union catalogs offered a common point for hundreds and then thousands of catalogs.
Newspapers and magazines began being available online, as well as their archives. Some journals became "only" electronic to skip the costs of print publishing, while offering print on demand. Some newsletters, zines and journals started online from scratch, skipping a print version. Authors began creating websites to self-publish their work or post it while waiting to find a publisher. Communication with readers became easierthrough email, forums, chat and instant messaging. Some authors explored new ways of writing, called hypertext literature.
More and more books were published with both a print version and a digital version. Some books were "only" digital. Other books were digitized from print versions. New online bookstores began selling “only” digital books. Aggregators partnered with publishers to produce and sell digital versions of their books.
People no longer needed to run after information and to worry about living in a remote place with no libraries and bookstores. Information was there, by the numbers, available on our screen, often at no cost. In 2009, most of us would not be able to work, study, communicate and entertain without connecting with others through the internet.
