Abstract

Now that e-books and digital devices are active in the marketplace, publishers need to incorporate usability and user experience research and practice in their development process. Interaction design and UX research is well established in technology-driven industries; publishers have much to learn from these experts, for the betterment of their digital product and eventually, broader adoption of e-books by their customers. This article highlights the work and opinions of three UX, research and design practitioners as a first step in launching a tidal exchange of knowledge and ideas.
