==Recent developments==
[[Accessible publishing]] uses the digitization of books to mark them up into [[XML]] and produce multiple formats to sell to customers, often targeting those who experience difficulty reading. Formats include a variety of larger print sizes, specialized print formats for [[dyslexia]],<ref>{{cite news |url=http://papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/20/making-reading-easier/ |title=Making Reading Easier – Paper Cuts Blog |newspaper=NYTimes.com |date=20 May 2008 |author=Dwight Garner |access-date=22 September 2008 |archive-date=25 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100825004726/http://papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/20/making-reading-easier/ |url-status=live }}</ref> eye tracking problems, and [[macular degeneration]], as well as [[Braille]], [[Digital accessible information system|DAISY]], [[audiobook]]s, and [[e-books]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.readhowyouwant.com/Technology/overview.aspx|title=Overview of the Technology- Awards, Cost Savings|publisher=Radhowyouwant.com|access-date=19 November 2012|archive-date=29 July 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090729105356/http://www.readhowyouwant.com/Technology/overview.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Green publishing means adapting the publishing process to minimize environmental impact. One example is the concept of on-demand printing, using digital or print-on-demand technology. This cuts down the need to ship books since they are manufactured close to the customer on a just-in-time basis.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kanter |first=James |url=http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/reading-green-on-demand/?scp=1&sq=green%20publishing%20toby&st=cse |title=Reading Green On Demand |publisher=Green blogs, New York Times |date=2 December 2008 |access-date=19 November 2012 |archive-date=31 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531072157/http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/reading-green-on-demand/?scp=1&sq=green%20publishing%20toby&st=cse |url-status=live }}</ref>

A further development is the growth of online publishing, where no physical books are produced. The author creates an e-book and uploads it to a website, from which anyone can download and read it.

An increasing number of authors are using [[niche marketing]] online to sell more books by engaging with their readers online.<ref>{{cite news |first=Alan |last=Rinzler |title=The Magic of Niche Marketing for Authors |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/booked/2010/07/29/the-magic-of-niche-marketing-for-authors/ |work=[[Forbes]] |date=29 July 2010 |access-date=3 July 2012 |archive-date=18 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120418170040/http://www.forbes.com/sites/booked/2010/07/29/the-magic-of-niche-marketing-for-authors/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
