The advent of e-reader technology has spawned a fundamental change in the reading experience. Such devices are meant to address what are perceived as shortcomings or flaws in the design of traditional paper-based books. Yet, as with any new technology, e-readers possess their own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, which we explore here. Research concerning reading media indicates a mild yet pervasive preference for traditional books, yet e-readers continue to gain in popularity. We offer quantitative data relating to readers’ attitudes and preferences for information presentation so as to better guide efforts for the design of e-reader systems.
