Abstract
E” life, a new trend to influence people’s dairy-life since internet explored. No product or concept can be successful if it ignores the needs of its users and E-book are no exception. However, there has been a noticeable lack of real information about how ebooks are used. So, the objective of this study is established a series of surveys in an effort to help readers in using E-book. The overall aim of this project focus on the E-book of the future. With the changing of the trends, it stems from the fact that with the changing of the trends, the development or E-book design should also strive to accommodate to such a change. The ergonomic considerations become very important for E-book design. The assertion in this project has been concentrated mostly on the human E-book interaction. Nowadays, E-book has variety difference with traditional book in reading approach and using behavior. The procedures adopted for the assessment included the current E-book survey, a design analysis and a subjective preference evaluation. The experiment investigated the effect of interface usability, visual fatigue, CFF evaluation and subjective preference.of students’ using situation. Finally, to establish the design approach bases on the experimental finding, the considerations of E-book are suggested for designing E-book in the future. Once the affected issues of usability has been established, designers can get the relative understanding of developing ergonomic designed in E-book development.
