Publishing Industry   “PDF/POD” - Korean Publishing MarketDevelop into Diverse Formats   2023.02.20         The interesting promotional text of a self-published e-book, How to Write a Profit Generating E-Book, by writer Yoo Sung-Woo says, “The secret to earning 500 million won with a 10-page PDF e-book” on the page of a crowdfunding platform Wadiz.

Korea has been rapidly taking actions to return people’s daily lives to how they were before the pandemic. Such efforts can be seen through major terms commonly used in news outlets, such as “endemic” and “post-COVID.” Also, in early June, the Seoul International Book Fair was held at COEX on a large scale after a three-year absence, attracting approximately 100 thousand visitors. What’s more, lectures and autograph signing events of writers that had halted due to the social distancing policy have begun to take place again. It also seems that publications, book sales, and book-related programs are beginning to revitalize.Books related to “endemic” include From Pandemic to Endemic (Dongasia Books), written by researchers at the Institute for ...

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments   2021.05.03     Recent issues surrounding audiobooks   The voice service provided in announcements, news reading services, or e-book devices uses TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology that converts written letters into sound. As it has no accent and cuts the sentence in weird places, we have to track what it said while listening to the voice. Recently, as more people read books while traveling, e-books are transforming into audiobooks. Most people wish to hear a human’s voice when listening to one. The audiobook market is growing rapidly, but the production time, cost, and technological limitations have been slowing progress down. However, as the A.I.
