ABSTRACT
Recent HCI research has shown that there are important differences in the ways that people interact with physical and digital objects, and that these differences have negative implications for how people value digital objects. This work in progress explores one finding from a study comparing uses of paper and e-books that suggests that not only are there important differences in the ways people perceive their ownership of physical and digital objects, but that the context of digital ownership (e.g. through an account vs. files stored on a personal computer) also introduces variations in how people value their digital possessions.

Displaying Invisible Objects: Why People Rarely Re-read E-books
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis study of paper and e-books investigates how specific affordances of physical and digital objects relate to people's valuations and uses of those objects over time. We found that while the visibility of paper books amplified the meaningfulness of ...
