  8. Customer feedback on ebooks shows added values for all target groups Reseachers Authors Right now, it’s hard to know what books are out there. With journals and articles it’s very easy. If there could be a good central database for books, it would be very useful, and I think you would see more books being published. I would like to see more online books out there. It is convenient to have a chapter level approach with books. I do not have any problems to read full text PDF’s on the screen. Librarians Librarians I am a small library – and I can not afford the “big deal”. I would rather pick and choose individual titles. I guess I get a lot value for money with the e-book database offerings. And it makes life easier for me. Anyway´content, pricing and open platforms are key to success. Books will follow the same way of transition process from print to electronic like journals – maybe even faster, because we already got the experience from the journals.
