In one of his\u00a0WhatTheyThink Videos<\/a>,\u00a0Frank Romano alerted me on an interesting study on the usability of eBooks.\u00a0The original article was from Jakob Nielsen’s Alertbox<\/a>, July 2, 2010. \u00a0It was a fairly small\u00a0study comprising only 24 people.\u00a0Each person was tried on four reading conditions: a printed book, a PC, an iPad, and a Kindle 2.<\/p>\n

The text was a short story by Ernest Hemingway, which according to Frank is easy to read, because it’s all simple sentences, virtually no semicolons, no em-dashes, it is basic writing<\/em>. \u00a0The result was that reading the e-book version was slightly slower than reading the print. Both the iPad and the Kindle rated as high\u00a0in terms of satisfaction as the printed book. \u00a0But the test persons were not happy with the PC — reading a PC felt like being at work. \u00a0The conclusion is that well-designed eBook readers provide as good a reading environment as the printed book. With the strong development of tablets, there is obviously a strong future for eBooks. This future is maybe already here, since Amazon recently reported that Kindle books are outselling printed books<\/a>.<\/p>\n
