Recently, as user feedback such as social reading become active, demand has been increased on e-book contents making which is based on user feedback. However, to reflect the user feedback onto the e-book, direct coding is required, which was difficult to the author who was not good at programming. To resolve this problem, Block assembly style feedback editor system, using Blockly was developed. This editor enables to reflect the user feedback by area allocation, component allocation, block editing, and code generating insertion, contrary to the existing way of programming realization in which direct coding was required for input, processing and output separately. This system was developed by using HTML. Javascript, PHP, and Codeigniter. Block editing is enabled to do provision and assembly of blocks by Blockly. The function of code generation & insertion allows to insert the Library function code. Through this system, the general users who are not capable of coding also can reflect feedback without doing actual coding.

This study examines the differences in children's reading comprehension and satisfaction of storybooks according to a type of medium(paper and multimedia e-books). Six different storybooks were used and 85 children participated. Each child read a paper book and an e-book(both are different books). The study results showed that overall, the type of medium did not significantly affect the children's reading comprehension of all six storybooks: for two storybooks, some comprehension scores of paper books were higher than those of e-books, on the other hand, some comprehension scores of e-books were higher than those of paper books. Satisfaction scores of paper books are a little bit higher that those of e-books, although resulting in no statistically significant difference between two types. In addition, the study suggested that the amount of annual readings is positively related to improving children's composition ability and information acquisition ability. Finally, we proposed how to promote the use of e-books in the school library environments in terms of its usability and management policies.

While past studies on e-books have mainly focused on the uses and gratifications (UG) and technology acceptance model(TAM), this study rather analysed the innovation resistance factors of adopting the e-book based on the innovation resistance model. The research model comprises of two factors: 1) innovation characteristics which include relative advantages, compatability and complexity, 2) user characteristics which encompass attitudes towards innovation and existing products (i.e., paper books). Using online survey questionnaire, this study examined the effects of those innovation and user characteristics on the innovation resistance, and the relationship between innovation resistance and intention of adoption. The results showed that complexity and attitude towards existing products affected the innovation resistance which has negative influence on the intention of adoption. Accordingly, it is necessary to improve the ease of use in the whole process from purchase to reading experiences, and highlight e-books' own interactive features and functions which are perceived as different from paper-book user experience.

최근 들어 스마트폰과 같은 휴대용 장치에 안드로이드 운영체제가 널리 탑재되면서, 안드로이드용 애플리케이션이 활발히 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트를 음성으로 변환하는 안드로이드용 TTS(Text-to-Speech) 애플리케이션을 개발한다. 기존의 유사 TTS 애플리케이션들과 달리, 본 논문에서 개발한 애플리케이션은 사용자가 직접 입력한 임의의 텍스트를 음성으로 읽어주는 기능과 미리 저장되어 있는 전자책을 불러와 음성으로 읽어주는 기능을 모두 제공한다. 또한 한글과 영어를 모두 지원하기 때문에, 한글 텍스트와 영어 텍스트를 모두 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 애플리케이션은 여러 사용자에 의해 다양한 용도로 사용될 수 있다.

The Current 7th Curriculum for Computer Education emphasized the class of practice oriented, student oriented. But it is very hard because of many students, poor environments, insufficiency of the teaching model. So ADPM will gives our help. a ADPM based practical class using ebook synchronized with video files give a little student's wating time for answering, much student's learning efficiency, much student's voluntary learning custom, a individualized learning. And this study developed the prototype to support the ADPM. This prototype will make up for the weak points in authoring systems, which they are a wizard type program, capturing video file, synchronizing video files. And it will improve a practical class.

정보기술(IT)이 발달함에 따라 프로그래밍 학습에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 특히 2018년도부터는 소프트웨어 교육(코딩 교육)이 의무화가 되었다. 하지만 아직도 대부분의 프로그래밍 학습 방법은 교재의 내용을 확인한 다음 편집 에디터에 코딩을 한 후, 빌드 및 실행하는 과정을 거쳐 결과를 확인하는 다소 번거로운 방법을 거치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 학습자가 보다 편리하게 학습할 수 있도록 전자책 뷰어가 갖추어야 할 스마트한 기능들을 제시하고 구현하고자 한다.

텍스트(Text)와 이미지(Image)만을 지원하던 EPUB2.0에서 오디오(Audio), 비디오(Video), 벡터 그래픽(SVG), 벡터 수학식(MathML), 다중 CSS3, 무제한 글꼴 내장, 세로쓰기, 자바 스크립트(Java Script) 등의 멀티미디어(Multimedia) 기능을 지원하는 EPUB3.0이 발표되면서 전자책의 시장이 더욱 발전하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 최근 동향에 따라 EPUB3.0 기반의 전자책 리더를 EPUB File Controller, EPUB File Analyzer, File Analyzer, EPUB Viewer로 분류하여 설계하고 다양한 콘텐츠를 N-Screen에서 사용할 수 있도록 구현하였다.

A study on e-book viewer terminal in the native language of the platform-dependent studies are based, This is inefficient in memory usage and screen rendering speed, and there are frequent system updates, e-book viewer, the nature of mobile terminal platform application compatibility issues may occur. In this paper, using the mobile app framework in order to design e-book e-book viewer, analyzed the structure of ePub file parser and file more structured modules were designed and MVC. Designed and implemented to test the functionality of the memory information that is currently running to provide the ability to show the relationship of DDMS and layout components were used to show Hierarchy Viewer. As a result, rendering the screen 150%, 84% in the heap memory usage, improved performance was confirmed.

E-book markets are currently moving through a period of disequilibrium as new pricing structures (i.e., flat-fee subscriptions) are rapidly embraced by major vendors. On the basis of a novel dataset, we investigate how the availability of "all-you-can-read" pricing programs influences consumers' tariff choice and contract renewal behaviors. Consistent with the rational choice framework, the findings suggest that most e-book consumers significantly gain from subscription-based tariffs. Power readers prefer flat-fee subscriptions, and those that have economically benefited renew their subscription. However, we also find some other intriguing results. Among the three subscription designs examined, the 1-week plan affords consumers more economic benefits than do 1-day or 1-month programs. Finally, iOS users are more inclined to select subscription models than are Android users because of the absence of in-app purchase functionalities for the former. The unavailability of in-app purchase affects tariff choices and transaction patterns as it increases transaction costs.

ThruBook is a collaborative work platform based on ebook documents, supporting synchronized group work sessions. Using this platform, users can participate in a group session based on a same ebook, and share group actions synchronously. In this paper, we consider annotations as all kinds of additional data on ebooks, including bookmarks, memos, and figures. Also, model shared actions such as sharing/navigating these annotations. As a result, we could model all collaborative actions as annotations, and propose a collaborative work model as communicating annotation objects between session participants. This approach implemented in ThruBook platform could easily model shared actions in collaborative systems. The collaborative work platform implemented in ThruBook can be applied to other types of collaborative work systems.
