In the absence of research aimed to measure the bibliodiversity of the Spanish publishing sector through indicators, the general objective of this work is to determine quantitatively whether the Spanish publishing sector is bibliodiverse. The specific goals are the following: a) analyze those necessary conditions to promote bibliodiversity, b) identify the main variables that conform bibliodiversity, and c) measure the degree of bibliodiversity. From the study of the contributions of the academic literature, this research forms an analysis model with the main necessary conditions of the bibliodiversity of the Spanish publishing sector: deconcentration, digital transformation, and glocalization. After reflecting on bibliodiversity, this research builds a theoretical analysis model to study the different variables that define bibliodiversity (linguistic, publishing companies, formats, thematic, and gender) and apply the various bibliodiversity indicators (Simpson, Shanon-Weaver and Pielou). Through a synthetic general bibliodiversity index, the different indices obtained for each variable considered in the research can be grouped.The research concludes that the Spanish publishing sector is bibliodiverse.

Al igual que otras industrias creativas, la industria del libro está experimentando un cambio tecnológico, pasando de formatos analógicos a digitales. Este cambio desafía los modelos de negocio existentes e impulsa a las empresas a reexaminar sus carteras de productos y competencias. A través de un estudio de casos cualitativo de tres editoriales españolas, este trabajo investiga cómo la digitalización afecta a los modelos de negocio en la industria editorial. La funcionalidad y la experiencia del usuario de productos digitales aún son deficientes: los precios siguen siendo altos y la proporción de títulos digitales españoles es aún reducida. A todo esto, se añade la falta de un diseño dominante común para la publicación digital, lo que, en conjunto, representa una incertidumbre sustancial para los editores, que avanzan, paso a paso, hacia la era digital y cuya exploración de nuevas oportunidades de mercado y modelos de negocio alternativos sigue anclada en los tradicionales. Finalmente, el documento también analiza cómo las instituciones actuales contribuyen a preservar el régimen de publicación en papel.
