Abstract
The aim of the paper is to show the most important developments of the e-book in the last 10 years. Special emphasis is on the activities contributing to the creation of favorable condition for the production, distribution and reading electronic books. Successful information management with regard to e-books means defining the term e-book itself, developing identification systems, digital rights management and legal deposit as a part of digital libraries and cultural heritage.
Highlights
At the turn of the twentieth to the twenty first century the exhibition “100 in 1000 - the most famous Croatian books of the last millennium” took place at the National and University Library in Zagreb, Croatia
These results show that the number of publications that are considered to be “books” has increased and that in three decades the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) has grown from an identifier for the printed book to an identifier for a product of monographic character published in any medium (Živković, 2001a; 2005)
It is safe to say that thanks to making content of monographic character available on a digital medium and distributed via the Internet the electronic book means a revolution at the threshold of the third millennium
