The book "E-Content" from Springer offers a comprehensive analysis of the changes in the content industry within a digital environment. It highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from the rapid development of technologies and examines the role of information and communication technologies in transforming the competitive landscape. The authors criticize that while post-industrial societies make significant investments in technical devices, they often invest too little in the quality of content. This leads to an increased need for improving E-Content. The contributions in this book provide a detailed overview of various aspects, including the market development of digital media, business models for paid content, and the impacts on scientific publishing. Additionally, developments in the field of e-learning and the interactions between technology and content, such as in interactive television, are addressed. A concluding chapter focuses on the perspectives of the European E-Content market and valuable initiatives related to this topic.
