”[…] from tablets to papyrus, to manuscripts, to the printed book, […] we are entering the era of the electronic book. We know that is going to happen, but we don’t know yet what the electronic book will be. And how could we know how it will be, since we don’t even really know what the ‘real’ book is. Technological evolutions in the book production process and the ability for anyone of making books using personal computers, have caused an abyss between our generation and the multicentennial tradition of bookmaking.

Before we move to the ‘electronic’ book we must first study what the real book was.”

- Yannis Haralambous, 2002
