Abstract

This paper describes experiments comparing reading performance such as reading speed and the accuracy of tasks in reading to answer questions using different media: paper books, a desktop PC, and a tablet PC. As typical examples of reading of this kind, we considered two scenarios: searching answers from text manuals and searching given photographs from photo books. In two experiments conducted according to the two scenarios, participants performed tasks most quickly using a paper book or a PC. They had trouble flipping through pages with a tablet PC. Although the paper book was inferior to the PC in terms of turning over pages continuously with rapidity, participants performed flexible navigation with the paper book such as starting the navigation from various positions of the book and jumping to the target position straight away without hesitating skipping over the target. Based on these results, we provide suggestions to improve a page navigation feature in electronic media.

纸质书籍和电子媒体在阅读答疑中的页面导航

本文描述了使用不同媒介:纸质书、台式电脑和平板电脑，比较阅读性能，如阅读速度和阅读任务的准确性。作为这类阅读的典型例子，我们考虑了两种场景:从文本手册中搜索答案和从图片集中搜索给定的照片。在根据两种场景进行的两项实验中，参与者使用纸质书或个人电脑完成任务的速度最快。他们在用平板电脑翻页时遇到了麻烦。虽然纸书在连续快速翻页方面不如PC，但参与者使用纸书进行灵活的导航，例如从书的不同位置开始导航，直接跳到目标位置，而不会犹豫跳过目标位置。基于这些结果，我们提出了改进电子媒体页面导航功能的建议。
