Sažetak
Book is affirmed as a metaphor for the world of knowledge and it has
greatly influenced on the knowledge content not only as a keeper and
carrier of the same, therefore future of the book and its varieties is not a
discussion about some product future but an issue of directing processes
which form cultures and civilizations. Will the printed book have the
same future as candles after the light bulb had been invented? Will the
writings digitalization greatly influence on democratization, mobility,
availability, knowledge visibility, which is preserved and distributed in
both of these forms or will the e-book with its multimedia interactivity
and multidimensionality greatly influence not only on distribution but
also knowledge?
Current offers and readership rating of e-book in Croatia suggest that it
is yet to take hold. State policies also do not have real intentions for supporting
e-books. Support has started, but only symbolically, tax regulation
does not equalize printed and e-book what certainly does not help
promotion and support of e-book in Croatia.
