ereading in the Belgian French Community : Reality check at the Brussels Book Fair

In February 2011, I visited the Brussels Book Fair with an idea: I wanted to ask all exponent if they sell eBooks.

I was disappointed. Digital Reading was not at all visible . I really had to ask all exponents specifically about their ebook initiatives.

I talked with 25 exponents :

• 60% of them don't have/sell eBooks
  
• 40% support eReading thanks to
  
• Publishing free content on the web (PDF)
  
• Being part of an international group (Mainly connections with France/ ePagine)
