Conclusions
Conclusions:
Different containers of the information (like books, e-books, etc.)change nature, shape and structure:
They converge but they also become specific in their formal and cognitive features.
The interesting point lies beyond the difference between digital and analogue media:
It’s about understandinghow technology impacts both language and behaviour.
Suggestions:
Set up a dialogue between both digital and analogue media; old and new behaviours.
Give a voice to design and art’s free and creative thinking. Create effective connections between artists, designers, technologists and publishers.

What is the main difference between a book and an e-book? What about other digital editorial products? What about calling them all reading experiences?
What do you think are the new parameters, limits and rules in the design process for the e-book? How do they differ from the design of a paper book?
In which elements of the project do you think your identity as a designer resides? How would you manage to keep it, or even change it, in the making of digital book projects? Do you think you will make digital books in the future?
The relationship between text and image has always been one of the core matters in visual communication. How has it changed in the digital environment? Do you think this relationship could become something different in digital publishing, and how?
What about the relationship between content and structure in the lay out of a book (indexes, hyperlinks, different ways of visualization etc.)? How does it change with the digital? What about it in digital publishing?
Do you think interactivity and media convergence can affect the design of a book? What about the proliferation of different formats? What about collaborative practices? How does it change with the digital? What about it in digital publishing?
Do you think we are risking an overload of information in publishing, especially in online and digital publishing?
Is there any element of tactility in the digital book? What do you think about that?
Has the traditional book changed? Can we talk about a sort of paper reaction to the digital shift in publishing? What do you think about the increase of self-publishing, both on paper and digitally?
What do you think about open source culture? What economic models do we have now in publishing and which do you think will take over in the future?
What do you think about the obsolescence of the digital? Is putting the content back onto paper the only choice that we have to overtake this obsolescence? Do you think we could find other solutions?
We are living in the era of the dissemination of information. Do you think we are lacking concentration?Do you think that dissemination and concentration can coexist or do we have to choose between one of them?
Can art and design practices give a contribution to the development of proper structures, models and devices for digital publishing, and how? In which direction would you like the research on digital books to be developed?
Which tools are you missing and what do you think is still needed for digital publishing?
