Abstract

Abstract There is a community of people in Lithuania who experience difficulties in reading printed books. When ebooks are scarce they are left without proper access to an important information source. Comparing the Lithuanian results with data from other contexts, we find that the availability of ebooks in Lithuania is scarcer than in other developed countries: they are from two to three times less available. Computer use and access to internet use in Lithuania over the past decade has increased by 20 per cent; however, access to ebooks grew at a slower pace. Analysis of the most popular books indicates that relatively few of them are available in ebook format, which suggests deliberate choices to promote printed books by restraining the release of ebook versions. From 2010 to 2019, on average, only 14 per cent of printed titles published were available in one of the ebook formats.
图书出版和印刷残疾人
立陶宛有一群人在阅读印刷书籍方面遇到困难。当电子书稀缺时,他们就无法获得重要的信息来源。将立陶宛的结果与其他情况下的数据进行比较,我们发现立陶宛的电子书的可用性比其他发达国家少:它们的可用性比其他发达国家少两到三倍。在过去十年中,立陶宛的计算机使用和互联网使用增加了20%;然而,电子书的使用增长速度较慢。对最受欢迎书籍的分析表明,电子书版本的书相对较少,这表明通过限制电子书版本的发行来促进印刷书籍的深思熟虑的选择。从2010年到2019年,平均只有14%的印刷图书以电子书格式出版。

Our issues include works by (and analyses of) many of the major figures in classical and contemporary thought, including E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, L. Wittgenstein, H.‑G. Gadamer, L. Binswanger, H. Arendt, K. Schmitt, I. Wallerstein, F. Jameson, J. Derrida, S. Zizek, Q. Maillassouxetc. Logos publishes pathbreaking work on a variety of traditional and «cutting-edge» topics (democracy, Plato, Spinoza, phenomenology, but also Queer Theory, Speculative Realism, Game Studies and so forth). It is heavily cited in the general philosophical literature all over the country.
