publication of reading.In the late 1980 s and early 1990 s,the invention of laser phototypesetting technology enabled Chinese characters to be processed by computers,and the first electronic book in China was produced under the impetus of computer technology.Since the 1990 s,China's Internet and computer technologies have developed rapidly.Under the joint promotion of database vendors,libraries,platform vendors,and library distributors,the form of Chinese e-books has changed.The content is more abundant and the functions are constantly improved.Changed the reader's information acquisition methods and reading habits.However,the combing and summarizing of the history of the development of e-books in China is lacking in both the history of publishing and the

produced in 1991,and the development of this period from 1991 to 2018 was divided into four stages,namely the origin stage(1991).-1999),the rise phase(2000-2008),the prosperity phase(2009-2014)and the transition phase(2015-2018);in the horizontal direction,analyze the social background and the main roles of each stage,and summarize the e-books of different periods.Characteristics and development

upstream source(1991-1999)period,through the background analysis of China's e-books,think that China Electronics The background of books is inseparable from the changes of computer storage media in China and the laser phototypesetting technology of Chinese characters.It is the result of the continuous evolution of book forms in China.In November 1991,Wuhan University Press published the "General History of the Relationship between the KMT and the CPC" in the form of a floppy disk together with its printed version,which was the symbol of the first e-book produced in China,accompanied by its production tools and technologies.Means and so on lay the foundation for the development of Chinese e-books.(2)e-books in the rise of the institutional market(2000-2008),database vendors continue to

period.(3)User demand promotes the prosperity of e-books(2009-2014).Based on the official licensing of 3G in January 2009,it accelerated the popularity of smartphones,widened the scale of users,and changed the reading habits of readers.The range of users of e-books has gradually shifted from being a library-based user to an individual user,eventually forming a two-point situation.(4)During the transition period and challenge of the e-book industry(2015-2018),for the transformation stage of publishers and pavilions,in May 2015,Beijing Rentian Bookstore officially launched the “Imaginary Star” Pavilion with e-books nationwide.For the basis of division,the advent of the platform has filled the gap in the field of e-books,making the upstream publishers of the industry chain realize that this is an important business in the future,and began to launch e-book business.At the same time,e-commerce platform will expand its business.In the field of library allocation,the innovative service mode for libraries has also stimulated the competition of publishers and distributors.The third and fourth parts summarize the important driving forces and main problems in the development of e-books

getting higher and higher,and it has become an indispensable part of the reader's study and life.The proportion of funds used by libraries to purchase e-books is getting heavier and heavier,and it also causes the production and distribution industries.Compete with each other.The process of the creation and development of any thing is not independent.It must be related to the surrounding things.In the paper,several database companies,library distributors,publishers,readers,libraries,and even the rookie e-commerce companies that have just stepped in are all It is the epitome of the history of the development of e-books in China.With their participation,they will continue to promote the development of China's e-book history,and promote its continuous improvement and progress. |
