Early
e-books were generally written for specialty areas and a limited
audience, meant to be read only by small and devoted interest
groups. The scope of the subject matter of these e-books included
technical manuals for hardware, manufacturing techniques, and other
subjects.
Numerous e-book formats emerged and proliferated, some supported
by major software companies such as
Adobe's
PDF format, and others supported by independent and open-source
programmers. Multiple readers naturally followed multiple formats,
most of them specializing in only one format, and thereby
fragmenting the e-book market even more. Due to exclusiveness and
limited readerships of e-books, the fractured market of independents
and specialty authors lacked consensus regarding a standard for
packaging and selling e-books. E-books continued to gain in their
own underground markets. Many e-book publishers began distributing
books that were in the
public domain. At the same time, authors with books that were
not accepted by publishers offered their works online so they could
be seen by others. Unofficial (and occasionally unauthorized)
catalogs of books became available over the web, and sites devoted
to e-books began disseminating information about e-books to the
public.
As of 2008 new marketing models for e-books are being developed,
formats are beginning to homogenize, and dedicated reading hardware
has been produced. E-books have achieved global distribution, and
electronics manufacturers are releasing more e-book readers for
general consumer use, such as Amazon's model or
PRS-500. E-books have seen tremendous market growth in Japan
throughout the 2000s and currently has an e-book market worth ¥10
billion. [source: Wikipedia Encyclopedia]
