This study aims to highlight how the development of technology has affected the literature scene in Spain. In modern times, the world of literature is transforming through technological advances that make literature more accessible to all. Many technological systems such as eBooks, audiobooks, social media platforms and others are particularly popular with younger readers today. Moreover, technology has also contributed to the transformation of the writer's profession by enabling writing and editing literature in a shorter period of time. Also, social media platforms now offer writers themselves the ability to communicate more directly with their audience by promoting their work more easily and economically..

In this context, this study presents an analysis based on a literature survey on how technology has influenced today's literary world, while at the same time presents the results of a survey conducted in Spain on the preferences of the reading public today. The survey was conducted through questionnaires that were given to the reading public via publishing institutions. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of technology in the field of literature and to capture the preferences of the Spanish readers today in order to highlight the extent to which technology contributes to a different literary reality.
