The e-book is not a recent product, but it has ancient roots. In 1949, Spanish inventor Angela Ruiz Robles registered a patent that anticipated some features of the future digital book. However, it was in 1971 that the e-book was officially born thanks to Michael S. Hart's Project Gutenberg. In Italy, the change of pace occurred at the beginning of the new millennium, in 2002, with the publication of the first Italian-language digital books by publisher Giacomo Bruno.[AssociazioneGlicine] The size of the global e-book market is estimated at $16.42 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $20.74 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growthrate (CAGR) of 4.78 percent over the forecast period(2023-2028).[Mordorintelligence] The study will address the economic and structural aspects of the Italian digital book market; for more general information on the publishing sector or other complementary sectors, such as audiobooks, please refer to the specific studies available in the Businesscoot catalog.
