Contents:
Bookness -- Paratexts and first impressions: taking a chance on an e-book -- Ownership and permanence: e-book transactions -- Materiality, convenience, and customization: e-books and the act of reading -- Reading lives and reading identities: genre, audience, and being a reader of e-books.
Summary: "This book explores a paradox of the digital reading revolution: mass adoption without full acceptance that e-books are 'real books'. Drawing on original data from a longitudinal study, it investigates how movement between conceptions of e-books as ersatz books, digital proxies, and incomplete books serves readers in unexpected ways"--PPN: PPN: 1922675474Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
