If the effects of learning by e-book and its acceptance by the students can be understood in advance, they can be used to improve e-book designs, enhance learning efficiency, and seek new applications. This study focuses on public and private vocational high school students. By analyzing literatures and student’s questionnaires, the degree of students’ using e-book and the acceptance of e-book are understood, which can then be applied to increase the educational value of e-book. The results of the study are summarized below: ( i ) The public and private vocational high school students’ cognitive level of using e-books is intermediate. Among the cognitions, “the e-book using experience” is the one in majority, and “the functions and the characters of the e-book” are those in minority. ( ii ) The public and private vocational high school students’ cognitive level of using e-books is high intermediate. Among the cognitions, “the practical functions of the e-book” is the one in majority, and “consumers’ innovation and their wills of purchase” are those in minority. ( iii ) There are some differences in gender in the cognition of the e-books. The male students’ cognition degree is higher than females’. Otherwise, there are no significant differences in cognition of the e-book in the frequency of using computers per week, the frequency of e-learning by using mobile devices per month, and the different grades of the students. ( iv ) There are some differences in gender in the acceptance of the e-books. The female students’ acceptance degree is higher than the males’. Otherwise, there are no significant differences in acceptance of the e-book in the frequency of using computers per week, the frequency of e-learning by using mobile devices per month, and the different grades of the students. ( v ) The students who have low cognition of the e-book are most impacted by reading habits and environmental impacts. The students who have high cognition are most impacted by the practical functions of the e-book.
