Summary / Abstract:

ENResearch on ebook availability in Lithuania (in national online bookstores and on the websites of academic institutions) was carried out and aspects of the ebook market there in 2014 were analysed. The main ebook retailers and publishers (including academic ones) in Lithuania were identified, ebooks in the Lithuanian language on sale were counted, and ebook formats and pricing were analysed. The results showed that, compared with 2013, the number of ebook titles on sale was growing and had reached 1700. About 1750 titles were also available from the platforms of Lithuanian academic institutions. Finally, the black market and the piracy situation were examined, revealing more than 4000 illegally published ebook titles in Lithuanian. Keywords: digital publishing; epublishing; ebooks; digital books; ebookstores; ebook retailers; ebook publishers; Lithuania. [From the publication]
