A digital publication area will debut at this year's Beijing Book Fair scheduled to begin at the China International Exhibition Center on Jan 9.

It will offer research on the current state of China's digital publishing, analysis of industry problems and a venue for exchange of solutions to further development.

A symposium on copyright disputes is also expected to offer insights into healthy growth of the industry.

Nearly 650 exhibitors have booked more than 2,400 booths, 132 more than last year.
