Purificación Toledo-Morales
José-Manuel Sánchez-García
The evolution of new technologies of communication and information is rapidily modifying the way we perceive the information. The rupture between the new forms of reading and writing and those that have been closer to us until now such as books, newspapers, letters... all of them linked to the use of paper is changing our vision of the book. The huge amount of electronic texts appeared in the last years makes us think that it is necessary to extend the definition of book that we have today.
