Publication Type: Extended Abstract Abstract: Despite the growing number of attempts to examine how people use E-Newsbooks presented on portable pen-based tablet PCs, it is not yet clear how people actually process information presented on the tablet PCs that extend the strength of the print medium (i.e., page-based attributes, mobility) and capitalize on the essential qualities of the interactive features of the Web. Will this convergent tablet PC enhance the users’ memory? Or it will disorient readers as it often does on the Web? (McDonald & Stevenson, 1996) The purpose of the proposed study is to explore how users process a Newsbook presented on a tablet PC, by comparing their cognitive responses to the same news content presented in print. Theoretically, the tablet PC based E-newsbooks can provide an opportunity to empirically test whether attribute-based media convergence (e.g., linearity, interactivity) may enhance mediated information processing. Methodologically and practically, by adopting actual stimuli while controlling other confounding variables, this study will generate ecologically valid study findings, which can be applied to news product development.
