<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">This book focuses on the human users of search engines and the tool they use to interact with them: the search user interface. The truly worldwide reach of the Web has brought with it a new realization among computer scientists and laypeople of the enormous importance of usability and user interface design. In the last ten years, much has become understood about what works in search interfaces from a usability perspective, and what does not. Researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of innovative interface ideas, but only the most broadly acceptable make their way into major web search engines. This book summarizes these developments, presenting the state of the art of search interface design, both in academic research and in deployment in commercial systems. Many books describe the algorithms behind search engines and information retrieval systems, but the unique focus of this book is specifically on the user interface. It will be welcomed by industry professionals who design systems that use search interfaces as well as graduate students and academic researchers who investigate information systems.</div>

<blockquote><p>Spain has not been on the leading edge of the digital revolution up to this point.

Solo due anni fa il primo World eBook Fair debuttò con poco più di 300mila ebook, oggi l&#8217;evento si avvale del contributo di più di 100 Biblioteche da tutto il mondo. Al progetto contribuisco: Project Gutenberg (100.000+), The World Public Library (500,000+), The Internet Archive (1,385,000+), eBooks About Everything (250,000+), IMSLP&#8217;s Music eLibrary (17,000+). La <a href="http://66.175.80.129/WorldeBookFair/form/webfqualifiedSearch.jsp">pagina di ricerca</a> semplice, permette di effettuare ricerche su ebook in 24 lingue (PDF ed MP3).  A termine della fiera, i lettori potranno continuare ad accedere agli oltre 2 milioni di ebook, a fronte di un piccolo canone di abbonamento mensile alla World Public Library.</p>

Grazie a questo, ed ora più  che mai, i consumatori sono anche più propensi ad acquistare prodotti elettronici. Forrester prevede inoltre che il mercato degli eReader presto possa espandersi anche al di là degli stessi libri, soprattutto una volta che la tecnologia eInk sia diventata matura, magari consentendo anche la riproduzione a colori: giornali, riviste, fumetti, documenti aziendali e personali assumeranno presto una rilevanza maggiore, soprattutto nel momento in cui altri fornitori oltre Amazon si affiancheranno nel mercato.</p>
<p>Di seguito un estratto del rapporto scritto da <strong>Sarah Rotman Epps</strong> e che va ad inaugurare una nuova collana della Forrester &#8220;eReader Revolution&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>The eReader market is hot: Barely a day goes by without an announcement of a new device release or acquisition. Amazon.com, leveraging its position as a dominant book retailer, has catalyzed the market for eBooks, but that&#8217;s just the beginning of the eReader revolution. Competitors will attack Amazon&#8217;s market position by launching new features, expanding content beyond books, dominating markets outside the US, reducing costs, and improving relationships with publishers. While frequent book readers drive device and content sales today, the next five years will see an explosion of the eReader textbook market, and in 10 years, the market will be driven by businesses going green in government, education, health, and other sectors. With retailers, mobile operators, and device manufacturers all vying for a piece of the eReader action, publishers should proactively shape their own eReader opportunity — or miss their last best chance to control their own destiny.</p></blockquote>

Si discuterà di vendite, canali di commercializzazione e strategie che editori e librai potranno adottare per incontrare la domanda dei consumatori. Adam Smith, Direttore del Product Management di Google Book Search, effettuerà una delle presentazioni di primo piano dell&#8217;edizione di quest&#8217;anno. Il Digital Book 2009 si apre all&#8217;indomani di una importante indagine effettuata dall&#8217;Association of American Publishers (AAP) da cui emerge che le vendite degli ebook in questo momento rappresentano il segmento in più rapida crescita del settore negli Stati Uniti, mentre le vendite dei libri sono in calo in tutti i principali mercati editoriali.</p>
