This detailed critical study analyzes the growth of trade e-books and associated technologies over the last decade of their commercial growth. In examining the motives and operations of the trade book sector (80% controlled by corporations), the author discusses how e-book developments reflect power arrangements in both publishing and the wider media, entertainment and cultural industries.
Power Over Publishing examines the past and recent historical foundation to e-publishing products and markets, providing systemic reasons within a theoretical framework for why e-books and e-readers have developed so slowly.
Power Over Publishing is ideal for anyone interested in the cultural and industrial clash between print and electronic books, as well as for academics and researchers of the subject of power.
