The future of the digital book

In the digital world music has entered, the image, all the disciplines and arts have been trapped by the digitalization of cultural or information content, and yet we still read on paper. Still the book, which is an invention of more than 600 years ago, is used as a means of dissemination.


The question is: what has already happened with music, with cinema and with graphic creation, will it also happen with the book? That is, will we end up reading finally on the screen and not on paper?

There has been much discussion about this topic and what we can notice is that in the last time this idea has gained a very great force. It seems difficult to think that we are going to receive information that does not come with an address or possibility of locating on the Internet. If you check portals like Pirfly, you can see the vast amount of audio books, digital ebooks, music and other collections within one place.

The surprising thing about this topic is that it has developed very late. From the moment the information was digitized, the first thing that was done was to code the words, letters and numbers. Everything was ready for the creation of the digital book, but it was not done.

In the digital world it will be necessary to organize the library and, for the moment, the huge offer does not put this point first. We believe that it is an idea that must be kept: the text when passing from the paper to the screen does not gain anything, but the text when going from the closed system of the paper to the open system, to a whole library of all the virtual world in the support digital, it's going to mean another book. This is the promise and the interest we have in this change.

That is to say, we are not going to have only the digital book, but a whole library behind the book every time we look at a page in the digital world. To know more of this, check out the collection of audiobooks, ebooks, and music online at Pirfly.
