buying a book publisher's original typeset copy

Posted in xn--kfs74mzzid01b.com edit by cfz on January 7th, 2009

  • Why can't we buy the original publisher's edition, the typeset electronic copy, of a book? For instance, I can buy "Rabble in Arms" by Kenneth Roberts, but I can't buy the electronic words allowing me to search through and print out various sections of text.


  • Book publishers have the option of making the electronic text of their books available through several avenues, such as Amazon's a9.com, or Google's print.google.com, or other similar services. Many books can be purchased outright and downloaded in etext format. However, a fair number of authors or publishers are still wary of etext, out of concern for losing exclusive control of their works. A similar situation existed in the music industry a few years ago, before they finally saw the light that the internet was the future of the music business. I suspect most publishers will eventually come to the same conclusion, but for now, many are still holding back.
