Abstract

After centuries of apparent immobility, the book industry is experiencing profound changes. With the development of ICT, e-commerce and e-book, it entered a phase of reorganization, underpinned by the emergence of new markets, new actors, new knowledge bases and technologies that have significantly changed its boundaries. The e-Readers, generalized in 2009 by Amazon and the tablets, appeared in 2011 with the iPad, have created more upheavals than centuries of production. The e-book was initially considered as a ?homothetic book?, but in fact this digitization quickly broke the model content-container. This dissociation might be the innovation able to change the book industry, seen as a sectoral system of innovation and production. The article shows the contents, and not just containers, are at the heart of current dynamics of change.
