About This Book

A chronological survey traces the development of the digital book from early e-text experiments in the 1970s through 2010, emphasizing how network protocols and the World Wide Web enabled broader dissemination. The text highlights technical efforts to standardize character encoding and bibliographic exchange, following the transition from ASCII variants to Unicode and the adoption of common MARC-based formats. It examines evolving distribution and licensing practices, including collaborative proofreading initiatives and open-licence approaches that adapted copyright to digital sharing. Finally, it documents the rise of portable reading and reference devices and discusses projects aimed at bridging language barriers with digital metalanguages.
