Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the current state of the art in e-books, and attempts both to set the scene
and provide reasons for their low uptake. Publishers, e-book providers and aggregators, academics and intermediaries (i.e., librarians and information specialists) should concentrate on raising awareness of what is available and what are the advantages related to e-books for specific categories of users. At the same time e-book suppliers should make e-books easier to
find and purchase.
