With the technological evolution and development of the internet, the publishing sector has undergone great changes. The e-library, e-book and self-publishing have opened up new horizons for both those involved in the publishing industry and readers. The digitization of publications is a fact and is expected to evolve in the future towards more specialized areas and content, offering personalized experiences to the ^21st century readership .
