Abstract

The Japanese publishing industry was originally built on a closed, domestic system. International file formats for electronic publishing, EPUB and AZW, developed after the Japan-specific file formats had already been established, and the coexistence of these multiple file formats has complicated the Japanese electronic publishing market. In Japan, the electronic book exchange format that converts formats from one to another has been established to solve the compatibility problem. Although it is hard to evaluate the usefulness of the electronic book exchange format at this stage, the publishing industry needs to respond to globalization while maintaining the diversity found in Japanese culture.
