Abstract: After centuries of apparent immobility, the book industry is experiencing profound changes. With the development of ICT, e-commerce and e- book, it entered a phase of reorganization, underpinned by the emergence of new markets, new actors, new knowledge bases and technologies that have significantly changed its boundaries. The eReaders, generalized in 2009 by Amazon and the tablets, appeared in 2011 with the iPad, have created more upheavals than centuries of production. The ebook was initially considered as a "homothetic book", but in fact this digitization quickly broke the model content - container. This dissociation might be the innovation able to change the book industry, seen as a sectoral system of innovation and production. The article shows the contents, and not just containers, are at the heart of current dynamics of change.
