Abstract
Although electronic book readers have became popular in recent years, page navigation techniques used for these readers are not necessarily appropriate for all kinds of books. In this study, an observation experiment is conducted to investigate how people read paper-based magazines. Based on the findings in the experiment, the authors propose new page navigation techniques specialized for digital magazines. The techniques adopt the operation of flipping through the pages. A user study confirms that the techniques are useful for overlooking content in a digital magazine and able to support readers to find articles that meet their interests.
