Abstract: This article outlines the research the author conducted to date during his PhD. His PhD, “Augmenting the Reading Experience,” looks at methods to improve the reading experience for both digital and printed methods. So far, he has developed a prototype device that uses paper as an input method to interact with digital books. Turning a physical paper page causes an e-reader device to progress through the book, allowing the reader to have the user experience of a printed book, whilst also benefiting from the digital conveniences and features. Many modern readers own the same book in a number of formats and switch between them depending on the scenario. This introduces the problem of transitioning between formats. His current project the “Digital Bookmark” looks to allow seamless transitioning from one format to another by obtaining the latest page number and broadcasting it to all formats the reader is currently using.
