More information:

The conventional notion of the book, based on centuries of print, has
grown outdated. The book is coming unbound in a double sense: both
freed from the bindings of the printed volume, and from the
limitations of conventional text. Today’s multimedia content and
online modes of authorship offer entirely new vistas of book-like
functions and forms, even as we explore how to preserve vital features
of conventional print.

With a wealth of exciting new possibilities, the book is left without
obvious contours. Critical cultural forces must step in to design and
develop new models for reading, publishing, and learning. The entire
concept of ‘bookness’ needs reinvention. Through panel discussions,
presentations, workshops, and a book launch, the Unbound Book
Conference is the largest event in The Netherlands  brings together
participants to take part in defining new roles and business models
within this rapidly changing landscape.
