Essay

My essay will focus on the topic of censorship on books, taking a look on what control mechanisms ae being made possible with the ebook reader device that have not been there with the classical paper-book and what issues could derive from those possibilities. I want to look closer at the regulations of an ebook reader as the Kindle, how different censorship-issues by countries are being regulated, also having a look at what control mechanisms are being used with indexed paper-books. I will also try to find out whether there have been other cases such as the deletion of the book 1984 from George Orwell in 2008.

Thematic Project

I am very attached to paper books and their look & feel component but I want to try to realize a project, where I give the ebook a certain charm, emotion that would not be possible with the classical book.
