电子书阅读器（e-readers或electronic-readers）的使用越来越广泛。电子阅读器应该满足两个重要的要求：足够的可读性和良好的可用性。在我们的研究中，我们调查了电子阅读器设计的这两个要求。在多功能方法的框架内，我们将眼动跟踪与其他可用性测试方法相结合。我们测试了五种电子阅读设备和一本经典的纸质书。结果表明，采用电子墨水技术的电子阅读器提供的易读性与传统纸质书相当。然而，我们的研究也表明，目前的电子阅读器一代在可用性方面存在很大的缺陷。用户无法直观且毫无问题地使用电子阅读器。我们发现不同品牌的电子书阅读器之间存在显着差异。有趣的是，我们发现客观的眼动追踪数据和主观的用户数据之间存在分离，强调了多方法方法的重要性。
The use of e-book readers (e-readers or electronic-readers) has become increasingly widespread. An e-reader should meet two important requirements: adequate legibility and good usability. In our study, we investigated these two requirements of e-reader design. Within the framework of a multifunctional approach, we combined eye tracking with other usability testing methods. We tested five electronic reading devices and one classic paper book. The results suggested that e-readers with e-ink technology provided legibility that was comparable to classic paper books. However, our study also showed that the current e-reader generation has large deficits with respect to usability. Users were unable to use e-readers intuitively and without problems. We found significant differences between the different brands of e-book readers. Interestingly, we found dissociations between objective eye-tracking data and subjective user data, stressing the importance of multi-method approaches.
