e-book is digital contents using IT technology instead of paper. It is carried in Internet and displayed wish Viewer of PC, PDA or terminal. The Open eBook specification is to provide a specification for representing the content of electronic books to these viewers. The specification is based on HTML and XML, the same core languages that define the World Wide Web, and is designed to allow publishers and authors to deliver their material in a single format. In this paper, we design and implement the viewer that can support OEB(Open eBook) standard. Viewer is composed parser part and display part.

We developed a Java library Xeni for e-book reader systems on embedded Linux environment. Xeni is an API library providing functions such as rendering for XML-based e-book contents, navigation mechanism for readers and bookmark management. This library is developed in Java language, targeting java virtual machines on embedded Linux systems. We discuss design and structure of the developed library, and introduce the reference implementation of a reader system using this library. Also, virtual machines on Linux environment are briefly surveyed.

This study investigated differences in children's story comprehension as they related to the types of reading media. The participants comprised 62 four-years-olds from two child-care centers located in a middle-income region of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. In order to control the experience effect, newly developed stories published into two formats of reading media (paperback books and electronic books) were provided to the participants. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in children's story comprehension depending on the types of reading media. Paperback book readers and electronic book readers did not show any significant difference in story comprehension, which consists of recall, recognition and reasoning tasks. As literature pertaining to children's usage of electronic books is limited, the present study offers guidelines for the development of children's reading media and may serve as a useful resource for future studies.

This study intends to make a proposal the direction classification to develop the independent study of e-book's visualization. For this, we research into the e-book of Disney animation which achieved recognition in the literary value and amusement First of all, We grasp the meaning of the concept of e-book's aerial-image and perceptual principle. Next, We found the subject that starts the movement, and then observed the factor of the presentation to be possible to experience the actual spatial experience by the motion-produced cues. Through analysis process, We can classify the appearance elements, media, camera, and the readers' motion-produced cues into 13 parts and define as the codes. As we analysis the frequency of use of the analysis object, We separated it into the 46 combination exercises. According to the combination with the independent exercise, We separated them into 4 groups. There are the actual spatial experience, narrative spatial experience, the experience of characters. The basis for these, we can analyze the characteristics of the motion-produced cues. This study has the meaning of the expansion of e-book into the film language system by separating the e-book's narrative visualization type.

본 논문에서는 전자책을 이용한 e-Learning 플랫폼을 소개한다. 이 시스템은 전자책에 대해 주석(annotation)을 추가하는 방식으로 텍스트의 부분에 대해 하이라이트, 북마크로 메모를 달거나 프리드로잉을 이용하여 설명을 달 수 있다 전자책에 추가된 하이라이트 및 북마크 등의 정보는 학생 리더 시스템에 외부 데이터로 저장되어 개인적인 학습에 사용할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 동기적인 원격 강의 방식으로 교사의 네비게이션과 액션에 따라 그 결과를 학생 터미널에 바로 보여주어 교사가 교재 화면을 칠판 대신 사용하면서 강의 내용을 전달하는 것이 가능하다. 또한 전자책에 기반한 토론을 지원하기 위해 채팅 기능을 구현하였는데, 각 문장은 전자책의 특정 위치(context)에 연결될 수 있다. 본 시스템은 전자책을 이용한 개별학습 자료의 제공 및 실시간 원격 강의를 위한 플랫폼을 제시하였으며, 자바 기반의 전자책 리더 시스템상에 구현하였다[1].

is an innovative creation, accommodating characteristics of various genres and media, ranging from elements of media aesthetics to visual aesthetics and games. Although it takes a form of a book, it exceeds stereotypes seen in paperbacks or eBooks. Because of such differentiated characteristics of this appBook (which is provided in the form of app), it induce users(readers) to conduct interactional activity. This study will mainly discuss about the formation of discourse of app based digital novel in a media aesthetic point of view. Considering the mutual relation between property of media and contents of stories, it is desirable to accommodate the mutuality of understanding between the digital media and formation discourse in creating stories.

We propose a collaborative social tagging for eBook using external DSL approach. The goal of this paper is (1) to provide DSL by which authors can write HTML5 rich contents ebook and tag resources, (2) to make users enhance book by tagging resources easily, (3) to make readers read rich book easily regardless of their devices types, (4) to provide ebook resources of RESTful address style by which other system can identify self-descriptive resources of book. To achieve the goal, we provide Bukle DSL language by which author and users can author and enhance ebook with ease. As a domainspecific language Bukle provides a simple yet expressive language for authoring and tagging books that would otherwise be more difficult to express with a general purpose language. Further work includes visual DSL approach and tools by using that the unskilled users could tag book easily. In order that future work also includes text-to-visual DSL transform engine. UX research is also required to tag and to author book. To tackle the above questions we are looking at using visual notation focusing visual syntax.

Thus, this study intends to measure the quality of three main attributes such as system, contents and service based on IS Success Model which compose e-book to identify the influence on readers' purchase intention. Result, System quality is to device purchase intention, and Contents quality is to e-book pruchase intention, it showed a significant damaging effect on.
