The beginning of e-books sets a challenge to all professionals that work on the traditional editorial field (which means, the field base on printed books), whether they are author, literary agents, publishers, designers, printing companies, or readers. This situation becomes heavier in countries such as Brazil, in which the editorial field is less representative and advanced in comparison to other countries considered more developed. In a similar way to subjects that concern topics around ciberculture, the approaches over digital books especially the ones that are face up to the printed books are divided between apocalyptic and integrated (taking into consideration the famous invention of Umberto Eco); this can be translated into the ones that promote the end of the printed books (the codex, as we all know it) and the ones that hold its survival. Both groups have the same initial idea: the thing we call e-book is the natural successor of the printed books. These discussions do not take into account the aspects related to the contemporary society: the fact that we live in a time ruled by transience, by innovation and by diversity; to which capitalism has advanced to a stage in which social and economic relations are intervened by images (or, in the famous Guy Debord s formulation, the society of the spectacle ) in which the concept of reading has enlarged in a significant way, orientated by that we can call post-cinema , when a countless number of small screens have become an irrevocable part of our lives, feeding a culture of audiovisual fulfillment highly hypermidiatic (and, thus, centered in the use of multiple languages and signs) the fact that the book, especially the schoolbook, became more than a product, it became a network service, offered by entrepreneurs groups capable of offering an spectacular experience. In this thesis, the development of e-books is investigated under the vision of languages and education, in order to build an analysis based on the specificity of use and fulfillment of the hypermidiatic language (that demands the control of the verbal, sonorous and visual codes).
