Abstract

Realistic Books is a digital book reading software using the presentation of a physical book, while offering the advantages of digital books access. This paper describes our experience with transferring the Realistic Books concept onto small-screen devices, i.e., tablets. We compared and contrasted two interface approaches: adapted and tailor-made. We conducted a study of Realistic Books with the original software ported to small screens, in which a number of usability issues were identified. We also describe our tailor-made interface for Realistic Books, and the outcomes of our second study.
