Issues arise from digital books/e-books AND digital publishing.


In this rapidly developing world, almost all people chose to purchase in digital books and digital publishing however they are not always advantageous. Issues may arise from using them. These issues include:
Ø      Some people usually prefer reading off paper than the computers however some digital publishing do not have the option of allowing others to print the e-book due to the existence of DRM’s
Ø      Technology changes all the time, therefore people may not always be able to keep up to using digital publishing as this trend may end along with it too.
Ø      Gradually as people use digital publishing, their tastes may change and vary and they  begin wanting to switch between media which would be will eventually a loss for the digital publishing individuals as their published work may not be looked at anymore.
Ø      E-books may be expensive and after purchasing it would be hard to return it back to the author as it is not physical.
-->Ease of theft: When work is stored in a digital format, it is very easily shared and distributed and copied often with a loss of revenue to the rights holder.
-->Digital readers are always to be purchased along with the e-books which is an extra cost for users.
--> Anyone is able to publish anything in the digital publishing work, so the books are not always reliable.
