推荐一本书的作文A
Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing.By delivering text direct to the reader’s computer screen，the e-book could cut down costs，and allow creators to deal directly with their audience，bypassing(绕开) traditional publisher and traders.But it also rais the possibility of mass piracy(盗版)．Phil Rance，founder and managing director of Online Originals，a London-bad e-book publisher，sums it up，“No one wants Napster(在线⾳乐服务) to happen to books.”
Indeed，the most popular MP3 may have put the frighteners on an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”．The Meta Group，a leading US-bad market rearcher，
says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights，“We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing.Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution(分经常打喷嚏是怎么回事
考研ab区发)，asking the question，‘How can we u the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage？’”
At the moment，most publishers would like to limit the u of e-books to the person who bought them，or to the computer ud to download them.If that can be done，e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today，according to Terry Robinson，business manager for Adobe’s e-paper group.“If you’ve cracked the digital rights aspect，you’ve cracked the market，” he says.
Robert Nichols，Books Director at BOL agrees，“Rights management is absolutely important.Publishers just say that ‘until copyright is cure，we’re not going to talk’．”
