The International Symposium on the Electronic Book was held in Mexico City from September 19-21. The participants came from Brazil, Mexico, Spain, United States and England. Among the subjects covered were the role of the book in the information society, the state of e-books in Mexico; author’s rights in the digital age, virtual libraries, and, finally, ten year forecast for the book. Many of the presentations are available to watch for free online.
