摘要

[目的/意义] 自1991年陈光祚在武汉大学出版社出版我国第一部电子图书《国共两党关系通史》之后的30年,我国电子图书改变了千百年来的知识保存和传播的基本形态,需对我国电子图书行业进行系统性梳理以总结经验。[方法/过程] 界定电子图书的涵义,分析其产生的社会发展和技术突破背景,从我国电子图书的产生、发展和应用等角度梳理其发展史,根据标志性事件和时间特征确定了发展历程的4个阶段,分别是起源之前(1991年前)、起步阶段(1991—1998年)、兴起阶段(1999—2009年)和繁荣阶段(2010—2021年),再根据当时的社会与技术背景进行发展历史纲要的论述。[结果/结论] 我国电子图书领域获得以信息技术为支撑、以版权保护为关键、倡导数字阅读等中国经验,并对电子图书发展过程中的不足进行反思,提出未来我国电子图书行业应加强监管和引导、构建知识产业生态链、利用区块链技术解决数字资产确权等建议。

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] In 1991, the first electronic book in China, General History of the Relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, written by Chen Guangzuo, was published at Wuhan University Press. In the following 30 years, the electronic book industry in China has transformed the fundamental modes of knowledge preservation and dissemination. This paper argues for a systematic review of China's electronic book industry and summarizes its developmental experiences. [Method/Process] The paper defined the concept of electronic books, analyzed the social and technological contexts of their emergence, and traced their development in China from the perspectives of origin, evolution, and application. Based on landmark events and temporal characteristics, the development was divided into four stages: the pre-origin period(prior to 1991), the initial stage(1991–1998), the rise stage(1999–2009), and the prosperity stage(2010–2021). A historical framework was then constructed by contextualizing these stages within their socio-technological backgrounds. [Result/Conclusion] The development of electronic books in China is characterized by information technology as the foundation, copyright protection as the critical pillar, and the promotion of digital reading. By reflecting on the shortcomings in the development, it proposes suggestions for the future development, such as strengthening regulation and guidance, building a knowledge industry ecosystem, and leveraging blockchain technology to solve digital asset ownership confirmation.
