【 摘 要 】

In the second half of the twentieth century technological development made it possible to publish books on media other than paper. There is an increasing need for a new definition of "book" that would reflect the changes that have already taken place in size and medium, and indicate the development. As a result of the research on the sample of 27 countries, the Unesco dedfinition of the book was revised. The definition of the electronic book is also given. In the electronic environment it is even more important than in the traditional book sector to clearly define concepts such as publication, edition and publisher. It is pointed out that digitalised printed books are new editions deserving an ISBN and information about the publisher.
