现有的电子书阅读器在支持人们执行的许多阅读任务方面做得不好，因为人种学者报告说，当阅读时，人们频繁地从多个显示表面阅读。在本文中，我们提出了一个双显示器的电子书阅读器的设计，并探讨它如何可以用来与电子文档进行交互。我们的设计支持嵌入式交互，如折叠，翻转和扇本地/轻量级导航。我们还展示了空间填充缩略图等机制如何使用增加的显示空间来辅助全局导航。最后，在我们的设计中，可拆卸的面可以方便文档间的操作和灵活的布局文件的工作空间。对七位用户的半定向采访发现，双显示器有可能通过比单个显示设备更好地支持多个本地导航任务来改善阅读体验。用户还确定了许多阅读任务，该设备将是有价值的。然而，当在我们的受控实验室设置中阅读时，用户并没有发现嵌入式界面特别有用。
Existing e-book readers do not do a good job supporting many reading tasks that people perform, as ethnographers report that when reading, people frequently read from multiple display surfaces. In this paper we present our design of a dual display e-book reader and explore how it can be used to interact with electronic documents. Our design supports embodied interactions like folding, flipping, and fanning for local/lightweight navigation. We also show how mechanisms like Space Filling Thumbnails can use the increased display space to aid global navigation. Lastly, the detachable faces in our design can facilitate inter-document operations and flexible layout of documents in the workspace. Semi-directed interviews with seven users found that dual-displays have the potential to improve the reading experience by supporting several local navigation tasks better than a single display device. Users also identified many reading tasks for which the device would be valuable. Users did not find the embodied interface particularly useful when reading in our controlled lab setting, however.
