Highlights in Ten Years After
(Readmagine 18)

Readmagine is the conference about the digital innovation of reading, books and libraries, organized by the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation with the collaboration of IPDA. It was born back in 2006 under the hypothesis that the dissemination of digital technologies would imply a great impact on reading behaviours, public services related to reading and learning, as well as on the publishing business.

This conference -Ten Years After- was a common undertaking of the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation and IPDA and gathered leaders and experts with very different skills and industries. In this conference, we discussed the effects of the popularization of mobile devices -such as Kindle and iPhone- designed to access, store and interact with books and other content as well. This meeting had the participation of a group of 150 guests from 25 countries.

The Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation team made a selection of the highlights and ideas that have achieved greater acceptance or emphasis.
