Abstract

This paper explores how people read books online using the International Children's Digital Library (ICDL). We analyzed usage of the ICDL in an attempt to understand how people read books from websites. We propose a definition of reading a book (in contrast to others who visit the website), and report a number of observations about the use of the library in question.
