Abstract(in English) Development of an electronic paper, which has both merits of a paper and electronic displays, is currently carried out eagerly. This study aims to clarify factors of the readability which is realize on paper medium ; clarified factors will show us good guide lines to realize a readable electronic paper. We are expecting that reading style is an important candidate for the factors which affects to the readability. Reading performances were evaluated at three kinds of medium handling styles (vertical, horizontal, hand-held) using current electronic books (Librie, ΣBook) and paper. Test results showed, for both electronic books, that "hand-held" condition is superior in evaluation for fatigue and readability. It was suggested that compact medium design which allows hand-held reading style can improve readability of electronic displays.
