A social reading system for EPUB publications
Eri Kataoka, Toshiyuki Amagasa, Hiroyuki Kitagawa · 2015
We propose in this paper a social reading system for EPUB3 publications (SRS4ePub), whereby users can share bookmarks and annotations among users. One of the features of this system is that it fully exploits EPUB and its related open standards to make social reading system possible. Besides, the system can record users' operational records so that we can analyse users' behavior while reading e-books. We first overview the proposed system and client, followed by its technical details. Next, we describe the user experiment and discuss how we can extract useful information from the collected data. As a result, we successfully extract various kinds of users' data, which are useful in many applications.
