| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電腦與通信工程研究所 === 98 === This thesis presents a study and implementation of ebook(electric book) reader based on the open source platform, namely Google Android. The objective is to provide a platform which can be operated easily with friendly user interfaces, various features, auxiliary reading support and sharing ideas. Many ebook readers and the software only provide basic reading functionality. They sometimes might support taking notes or indices inside the book, or combine the Internet access for ebook sharing and online bookstore business. Therefore, the merits of ebooks are not fully exploited in many aspects. This thesis therefore attempts to design and implement a convenient and friendly software ebook reader which, in addition to the popular features, supports not only sharing ideas with other readers, but also highlighting key paragraphs in the content in order to help improve reading efficiency.
he design of this ebook reader is implemented on an embedded system platform equipped with a PXA310 processor and Internet capability. Aside from the basic reading and supporting functions, such as automatic setting of display attributes, page pre-loading, saving progress, page flipping, sizing, bookmark, indexing and marking, the implementation includes the functionality of note taking and management, dictionary, translation, Internet searching, and two promising features brought up in this thesis. One of the promising features is the concept of idea sharing which, via using separately stored notes of the original contents, allows readers to exchange afterthoughts or notes over Internet. The other one is showing paragraphs of high relevance with the topic(major theme) based on word similarities so that readers could easily grasp the key points of the content and achieve efficient reading.
