The paper book resists the digital avalanche
The department of Penguin Random House near of Barcelona, Spain, sells at least, 1.5 millions of paper books every month. Amazon, the empire of online shopping, has a stock of 582 thousand of books (of paper and electronic) in Madrid. If we take this information, the prediction in Farenheit 451, (where there is the prediction of the death of paper to read) is, until now, false. But, on the other hand, the electronic books and its readers also won´t dissappear also.
The landscape of professionals of edition and other datas is hybrid.? We live in a world where digital and paper is coexisting. And there is a phenomenon that makes the reading of statistics difficult, as we can now autoedition? and subscribe to? and stream books. of 'streaming' e-books.
The arguments between e-books and paper books is still alive. The New York Times published a report about the e-books slump. But Fortune Magazine published another report defending the rise of e-books. The closing of Oyster (a platform for book subscriptions) in september was taken as an example of the falling of the e-book ( until some years ago, the "future of the book industry");however, Kindle Unlimited and 24Symbols (the other "Spotify of literature") have shown a significant increase.
