연구의 목적은 전자책 인터페이스에서 페이지 전환방식에 적용된 메타포가 전자책을 통한 독서행위에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인해보기 위한 것이다. 또한 각각의 페이지 전환방식별 사용자들의 감성 반응을 평가하는데 있다. 종이책의 메타포가 적용된 페이지 전환방식은 전자책을 통하여 독서가 이루어지는 동안 사용자에게 종이책을 읽는 것과 유사한 상호작용을 유발하는 친숙성 요소가 될 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구는 요인별로 제작된 네 가지 전자책을 통하여 실험하였으며 페이지 전환방식별로 독서경험에 미치는 효율성의 검증을 위하여 페이지 전환 횟수와 과제완성시간, 정답률로 총 세 가지 부분에서 정량 측정하였고 감성측정은 종이책 메타포가 적용된 페이지 전환방식이 실제 사용자에게 어떤 감성을 주는가를 밝히는 것을 목적으로 평가를 진행하였다. 효율성 측정결과를 종합하여보면 전자책 인터페이스에서 페이지 전환방식에 적용된 종이책의 메타포는 효율적인 디지털 리딩 행위에 영향을 주며 친숙하고 자연스러운 감성과 동시에 복잡한 느낌을 주는 것으로 타나났고 슬라이딩 방식의 페이지 전환방식은 간결하고 단순한 감성을 유발하는 것으로 나타났다 이는 전자책의 인터페이스를 설계 할 때 콘텐츠의 성격에 따라 각기 다른 페이지 전환방식이 제시 될 수 있을 것이며 적용된 페이지 전환방식에 따라 서로 다른 사용자의 독서행위를 유도할 수 있을 것이다. 선형적 읽기의 콘텐츠를 다룰 때 종이책 메타포가 적용된 페이지 전환방식을 적용하는 것이 디지털 리딩에 더 효율적인 경험을 줄 것이며 슬라이딩 페이지 전환을 사용한 전자책의 경우 탐색적 읽기의 콘텐츠에 적합한 것으로 판단된다.
The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of the metaphor of paper-book applied in page change of e-book interface on reading through e-books. In addition, it aims to analyze users’ emotional responses to electronic books with page turning effects. When readers flip through an electronic book, the page turning effect, which is almost like in real paper books, makes it feel like they are reading the familiar, traditional way. Using the page turning methods and two different display sizes, four e-books measured the effectiveness of digital reading and evaluated emotional responses. For the experiments on the effectiveness, this study measured the amount of time which one has to complete a task and the frequency of page changing attempted to solve the task. The emotional analysis was conducted using a five-point Likert scale with 12 vocabularies drawn by FGI. The result of the experiments on the effectiveness of digital reading suggests that the e-book with page turning effects cause the users' effective digital reading. The page flipping e-book with a paper book metaphor was highly rated in specific items—namely, ‘natural,’ ‘familiar,’ and ‘soft’—but lowly rated in the ‘complicated’ item. In the e-book, different types of page turning function can be suggested by designing the interface contents. The effective design leads to users’ different reading patterns. When reading e-book with page flipping metaphor of a paper book, readers use the linear reading; in a linear, the page flipping effects can cause the effective digital reading experience. In addition, a sliding e-book without a paper book metaphor leads to a type of scanning reading
