In this article we present some of the findings of a study of the e-book reading practices of 50 readers. After presenting the objectives and methodology of the study, we present our results relating to four areas of inquiry: readers’ motivations for adopting mobile reading devices; readers’ criteria for selecting particular electronic reading devices; readers’ representations of the digital book as an object; and finally, readers’ choice of e-book providers and their use of online recommendation systems.
