  • E-Books on the Mobile E-Reader
    Mobile Information Systems 9 (2013) 55–68 55 DOI 10.3233/MIS-2012-0148 IOS Press E-books on the mobile e-reader Chulyun Kim, Ok-Ran Jeong∗, Jaehyuk Choi and Won Kim Department of Software Design and Management, Gachon University, Seongnam, Korea Abstract. The market for e-books has been established during the past several years. Many e-book readers are commercially available, and millions of e-book titles are available for purchase or free download. E-paper technology has matured enough to be used as the screen for dedicated e-book readers which make reading possible with the familiar feel of reading printed books. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the status of the e-book, including the architecture and features of e-book readers, market adoption and e-book industry ecosystem. Keywords: E-book, e-paper technology, e-book reader, e-book industry ecosystem 1. Introduction A book organizes texts and images. As texts and images can be stored and retrieved from computers in digital form, the emergence of e-books is only natural. An e-book (electronic book) is a book that is stored in digital form and read on a mobile e-book reader. There are two types of e-book reader: a dedicated e-book reader (such as Amazon’s Kindle, Sony’s PRS Reader), and a multi-function computing device (such as a PC, a tablet computer, a PDA, a smart phone). (Henceforth, we will use the term “e-book reader” to mean either type where a distinction is not necessary.) Figure 1 shows an Amazon Kindle e-book reader.

  • Invitation to the Feast: Developing Accessible Ebook Services in UK Public Libraries
    http://conference.ifla.org/ifla78 Date submitted: 16 August 2012 Invitation to the feast: developing accessible eBook services in UK public libraries Helen Brazier Head of National Library Service, RNIB Manchester, United Kingdom Session: 104 — Steps towards a global accessible library — Libraries Serving Persons with Print Disabilities Abstract: This paper examines the status of eBooks in the UK and explains how they can play a dramatic part in increasing the quantity of reading material accessible to blind and partially sighted people - from famine to feast. Public libraries can play a vital role in making eBooks available to blind and partially sighted people. The paper goes on to describe RNIB's strategies to influence library practice, including investigation of the issues, some collaborative solutions and reader case studies. eBooks in the UK In the UK, the popularity of eBook readers and eBooks has soared over the past year. Indicators of this phenomenon include the use of e-reading devices and eBook sales. 1 Reading devices People are reading eBooks on dedicated eBook readers, tablets, computers and mobile phones. In April 2012 it was reported that one in three people owns an eBook reader1. 1.3m eBook readers were given as Xmas gifts in 20112- although 22% people who received one hadn’t switched it on in January3. The most popular brands of e-readers in UK are the Amazon Kindle, Apple devices, Sony Reader and Kobo. Prices of eBook readers and tablets are falling. For example, the Kindle cost £180 when it was released in 2007 and is now only £89.
