Summary

In the world of books, Colombia, a country known for its rich cultural diversity and literary prowess, is experiencing an intriguing waltz between tradition and technology. Once a tentative waltz, the eBook market is now gathering steam, providing a look into a future in which digital pages can mingle with their physical counterparts. When the eBook first came to Colombia in the late 1990s, it was introduced cautiously and slowly. The market remained limited to a specific group of people due to factors including expensive eBooks, a strong preference for the tactile feel of real books, and low internet availability. Concerns about affordability have led to piracy, which has hurt this young sector. When we jumped ahead to the 2010s, the beat quickened. Wider internet connectivity was made possible by technological developments, smartphones proliferated, and e-readers entered Colombian homes. Local publishers joined the tango, bringing their unique tastes to the Colombian titles on the e-book shelf. Recognizing the potential, the government even encouraged libraries to adopt digital content by offering tax benefits. Local publishers have made a bold comeback today, providing a passionate tango of Colombian stories in addition to global bestsellers. The government of Colombia is not a pushover! The mambo beat of the market is being driven by tax advantages and library initiatives such as a national digital library. Authors from Colombia are no longer shy or reserved! Their engaging stories are taking center stage and capturing readers with their unique national flavor, whether they are historical fiction or steamy romances.
