Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the difference of legibility between e-book and paper-book by using eye-tracker. Background: Despite of many researches on the e-book and paper-book, there are few researches on the difference between e-book and paper-book. In addition, the researches on the e-book were only dependent on the e-book reader. This study focused on the comparison of e-book and paper-book controlled with the same environments. Method: This study was conducted with $2{\times}3$ within-subject design. Independent variables include the types of book (e-book, paper-book) and font sizes (8pt, 10pt, 12pt). Dependent variables are four measures of fixation duration, saccade length, blink rate and subjective discomfort. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measured design was used to investigate the main and interaction effects of independent variables on each of the dependent variables. The multiple comparisons were performed by post hoc analysis and Bonferroni correction was applied. Results: Fixation duration at e-book was longer than paper-book (p<0.01). Saccade length at e-book was shorter than paper-book (p<0.05). Blink rate at e-book was higher than paper-book (p<0.1). Subjective discomfort at e-book was higher than paper-book (p<0.1). Legibility at 8pt was better than 10pt, 12pt (p<0.01) in fixation duration, saccade length and subjective discomfort. Conclusion: It was found that the legibility at e-book are worse than paper-book from this study. These results indicated that the legibility of e-book was needed to be validated and improved to replace the paper-book. Application: This study suggests improving something related to fixation duration, saccade length, blink rate and subjective discomfort for betterment of e-book.

Electronic book(E-book)은 기존의 Paper-book이라는 매체를 통해 유통되던 텍스트 기반의 정보를 디지털화하여 온라인으로 유통시키는 디지털 콘텐츠 서비스이다. E-book이 본격적으로 관심을 끌게 된 것은 2000년 스티븐 킹(Steven King)이 총알 타기(Riding the bullet) 라는 소설을 E-book으로 출판한 것에서 비롯되는데, 이후 E-book에 대한 구매자의 관심이 매우 증폭되었고 미국을 비롯하여 유럽, 중국, 일본, 한국 등에서 E-book시장의 규모가 매우 커지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 세계 출판시장에서 E-book이 도입된 이후 Paper-book 출판시장과 E-book 출판시장이 어떻게 경쟁하며 확산해 나갈 것인가에 대한 실증 분석을 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 두 시장 간의 관계를 경쟁관계를 고려한 확산모형인 Lotka-Volterra 모형을 사용하여 모형화하고, 국가별로 연도별 자료를 이용하여 확산곡선을 추정한다. 또한 곡선식의 계수를 추정함으로써, 두 시장 간의 경쟁관계 유형을 분석한다. 본 연구를 통해 Paper-book만 존재하던 출판 시장에 E-book이 도입됨으로써 책을 구매하는 구매자들의 수요 변화에 대한 분석을 시도한다.

The content curation service through big data analysis is receiving great attention in various content fields, such as film, game, music, and book. This service recommends personalized contents to the corresponding user based on user's preferences. The existing book curation systems recommended books to users by using bibliographic citation, user profile or user log data. However, these systems are difficult to recommend books related to character names or spatio-temporal information in text contents. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest a personalized book curation system based on integrated mining of a book. The proposed system consists of mining system, recommendation system, and visualization system. The mining system analyzes book text, user information or profile, and SNS data. The recommendation system recommends personalized books for users based on the analysed data in the mining system. This system can recommend related books using based on book keywords even if there is no user information like new customer. The visualization system visualizes book bibliographic information, mining data such as keyword, characters, character relations, and book recommendation results. In addition, this paper also includes the design and implementation of the proposed mining and recommendation module in the system. The proposed system is expected to broaden users' selection of books and encourage balanced consumption of book contents.

Recently, electronic-book (e-book) market is growing rapidly due to the evolution of information technology and e-book standard EPUB. Users can search e-book on-line and download easily to their e-book readers such as amazon's kindle or smartphones. On the other hand, there is lack of e-book contents for the reading disabled people because of high cost of making e-book accessibility for the reading disabled people. If we can translate EPUB specified e-book contents to the alternative e-book contents suitable for the reading disabled people, then there are many advantages to acquire various types and large volumes of e-book contents for the reading disabled people. This paper suggests a new electronic publishing ecosystem for the reading disabled people using e-book translation method. It also suggests a promotion strategy of e-book market for the reading disabled people.

현재 출판계는 'U-출판', 라틴어로는 '유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous)출판' 시대를 맞이하였다. 책의 개념이 전통적인 종이책(paper media book) 개념에서, e-북 개념을 넘어 U-북 개념으로 발전하고 있다. 그러나 시대에 따라 매체에 따라 책의 개념이 바뀌어도 변하는 디자인적 가치와 변하지 않은 디자인적인 가치가 있다. 이러한 관점을 즉시(the immediate)와 항상적(the ultimate)가치라고 할 수 있다. 즉시(the immediate)는 시대정신을 표현하는 현시대의 가치를 의미하고, 항상적인 가치는 디자인을 전달하는 매체의 차이에도 불구하고 시대를 초월하여 변하지 않는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 2005년부터 시작된 U-북 개념의 디자인을 즉시와 항상적인 가치의 관점에서 연구하고자 한다.

There has been a significant paradigm shift in the book industry from print to digital, with the increased use of electronic books (e-books) on e-book readers. The major online booksellers and publishers are devoting their energies to the growth of the e-book market, resulting in an upward spiral in e-book usage, and a resultant increase in the number of downloaded e-books in an e-book reader library. However, there are comparatively few features for e-book management and search in most e-book reader libraries, particularly in smartphone environments. In addition, the user interfaces of e-book management in e-book readers are highly diverse, which has led to major usability issues. In this paper, we analyze user preferences for e-book management and search in the libraries of the five most commonly used e-readers for the Android smartphone platform via a questionnaire survey. Then, we suggest ideal alternatives in addition to user-friendly features based on user preferences for managing e-book libraries, to allow users to more easily browse collections, thereby enhancing the usability of e-book readers.
