In France, and since the advent of touch pads, and iPad Kindle in mind, the mood is discontent among French publishers. Witness the battle that was opposed to the giant Google and its Google Blooks, who has just come to an agreement.
Six years after the start of the legal battle between the Union National de l'Edition (SNE) and the Honourable Company of Men of Letters, Google announced an agreement just concluded with the hexagonal bodies.
Pointed by the French, the Google Books found himself criticized for its project to digitize and index books as part of an online bookstore handy for users of touch pads, or even smartphones large. The problem, according to publishers' unions: the question of copyright, since all books by this mass digitization were not necessarily fall into the public domain. "At a time when the electronic book market takes off," Google, whose future tablet (a Nexus 7 designed with Asus?) Spilled much ink - digital or not - thus confirms the launch of a section Google Books as a portal for downloading Google Play. It remains to provide a precise date for the commissioning of Books in France, when only the U.S. can now take advantage of the 15 million tracks scanned by the Mountain View giant since December 2010.
