| Abstract [eng] |
The object of research is the quality of the digital book conveyed in terms of quality criteria. These are some distinguished features, assessment measures whose presence or absence determines the quality of the object. The object is analysed from the user’s perspective in consideration of his/her expectations and assessments. The research takes the approach that the quality criteria attributable to the digital book should be tailored to the needs of the user to a maximum level. By differentiating the criteria according to their importance to the users, this research aims at building up the quality assessment instrument for digital books that would reveal the specifics and expressive characteristics of the digital book. Referring to the explored concept of the digital book and its potential, the analysis into the needs, experience and wishes of readers, it is going to be established as to which qualitative book reading factors have the biggest impact on the quality assessment of the digital book. A new qualitative step is taken as it is for the first time in digital book quality research, by using Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory, the components of the toolbox (quality criteria) are differentiated and rated under two aspects. The results of the research reveal the overall innovative picture of elements of the digital book that are most important to users. The created digital book quality assessment instrument can be used both in further scientific digital book research and in practice – book publishing. |
