English abstract
Electronic publishing has transformed the business model of publishing houses in Spain in such a way that two models currently co-exist. There are, on the one hand, traditional publishers of mostly paper-based volumes, whose business models are based on having large catalogues of titles and large print-runs, though print-runs are increasingly smaller and returns increasingly larger. Intermediary agents operating under this model, for instance booksellers, are subject to ever-greater economic pressures, especially in the current crisis. On the other hand, digital publishing models are on the rise in Spain, at least partly as a result of digital projects by traditional publishers who are either digitalizing their catalogues or who are creating entirely new digital catalogues. However, within the rising digital sector, independent publishers have a significant share of the market. They have launched entirely new collections, use cloud-based business models and use sales and distribution systems fully in tune with a constantly-changing readership that increasingly values social networking and collaborative reading. In a rigorous and thorough study, the specificities of each of these models were studied and the consequences of each model for the future of electronic publishing in Spain were analyzed
Spanish abstract
La edición electrónica ha transformado el modelo de negocio editorial en España, configurando un sistema dual. Por una parte un sector editorial mayoritariamente analógico, caracterizado por una producción de títulos abundante, con tiradas cada vez mas cortas y con cifras de devolución elevadas. Un sector en el que elementos de la cadena del libro como las librerías están sujetos a graves tensiones y a una situación de crisis generalizada. Y un sector digital, alimentado en parte por las editoriales tradicionales que están desarrollando proyectos digitales, bien reconvirtiendo el catálogo bien creando colecciones nuevas. Un sector en el que las editoriales independientes revisten una importancia significativa con el lanzamiento de colecciones, modelos de negocio en la nube y sistemas de venta y distribución adaptados a un publico lector en permanente transformación, para el que las redes sociales y la lectura colaborativa es cada vez más importante. Se estudian las particularidades de ambos modelos y las consecuencias que se extrae de ellos para el futuro de la edición en España.
