Summary
An E-book is “an electronic version of a printed book which can be read on a computer or a designed handheld device” [4]. Today’s e-books have several advantages over conventional books; for example: they can be read using different devices and technologies, letting people choose the preferred one; their visualization can be adapted to the devices’ features or to readers’ necessities; a single device can store a great number of books, relieving people from the need of carrying heavy books (or a heavy set of books) They can present some drawbacks or minor problems. Starting from the above considerations, we designed and built Inbooki, a system to develop and read ebooks that take into account the context of the readers and adapt the content and the flow to it We discuss results and propose future directions in the conclusive Section 7
