The conclusions drawn from this study include findings such as that, in the case of e-books, which have both aspects of a transition from existing technology to new technology and the creation of a new technical field, they resemble a logistic model, characterized by starting out slow and a long period of time until critical mass is reached,and that such a slow start is only natural since it involves a significant change in human history,constituting a change from the physical to the non-physical for the first time in the long history of books going back more than five thousand years.}, title = {Diffusion Models of E-Books}, year = {}, yomi = {ウエダ, ヤスタカ} }
