Abstract
The aim of this study is to
introduce the structural diversity between printed books and e-books; and to
demonstrate the way the design of the book changes due to transition from
printed media to electronic media and the factors that caused these changes. The
book design processes and the limitations of the media are varied as well as
the reading experience. The design experience in printed books acquired in
centuries is insufficient for e-books in terms of obtaining the best reading
experience. It is not possible to have the same approach of book design for
these two media because medium, preservation, distribution, page layout,
reading direction, display and description of a page show differences. In this
context, the change in book anatomy and the evaluation of the way the
changes in organs of the book are reflected in its design are important in
terms of the future of book design. While book replaces itself in new
environments, the meaning of the word 'design' has also changed especially in
terms of book design.
