| Summary |
"El ebook tiene 40 años (1971-2011)" by Marie Lebert is a historical account written in the early 21st century. The book examines the evolution of digital books, or ebooks, and their integration into society, starting from their inception in the early 1970s to the advancements made by 2011. The primary focus is on the development of the ebook format and its significant milestones, highlighting the cultural and technological shifts that have accompanied this transformation. The opening of the work presents the genesis of ebooks, initiating with the establishment of Project Gutenberg in 1971 by Michael Hart. This project aimed to distribute literary works electronically, creating a foundation for the future of digital reading. Lebert describes how the project was initially met with skepticism but gained traction, particularly following the invention of the web in the 1990s, which facilitated wide access to ebooks. The segment emphasizes on the underlying philosophy that drives the project: making literature universally accessible and supporting the reading culture through digital means.
