A digitalização e a popularização da internet podem fazer o livro impresso, que existe há mais de quinhentos anos, desaparecer em um futuro próximo. Diversos produtos pertencentes à mesma indústria de bens informativos, como a música, vêm atualmente sendo entregues pela indústria e consumidos de maneira bastante diferente de alguns anos atrás. Livros continuam sendo majoritariamente consumidos em seu formato impresso. Por quê? O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as diferenças de percepção sobre a adoção de livros didáticos eletrônicos entre professores universitários e profissionais da indústria editorial. A pesquisa utiliza o método survey e o instrumento desenvolvido por Moore e Benbasat (1991) sobre adoção de inovações. Foram pesquisadas as percepções de professores universitários e profissionais de editoras sobre a possível utilização de livros eletrônicos didáticos no lugar de impressos. As conclusões indicam que os professores estão mais preparados para a utilização de livros eletrônicos do que imaginam os profissionais de editoras. / The digitization and the spread of the internet may result in the extinction of the printed book, that has existed for more than 500 years. Many products that belongs to the same information industry, like thes the music, are currently being provided by the industry and consumed in radically different manners as compared to just few years ago. Books still have been consumed mainly in the printed format. Why is that? The main objective of this research is to identify the differences in perception about the adoption of electronic didactic books among university professors and publishing professionals. This research uses the Survey as its method and the instrument developed by Moore and Benbasat (1991) about the adoption of innovations. Professors´ and Publishing professionals´ perceptions were investigated in what it concerned the possible use of electronic didactic books replacing the printed. It is concluded that professors are more prepared to make use of electronic books than it is imagined by the publishing professionals.

For this matter, it studies both the book and the mobile device as medias for experimentation and artistic creation, following a path that deconstructs them layer by layer: text, paper, devices, infertace and context. Basing on practices that transgressed the limits of these means over time, like concrete poetry that overflows the word, the artist book that deny the codex and the narratives that become interactive, mobile and contextual, this theoretical study meets practice for a reconstruction proposal. From a need for experimentation and lab activities conducted during this course, finally, I, phone project is presented. Inspired by the works of Eduardo Kac and the dialogue between art and technology, this project is a propose to put togheter again the studied medias, in order to set up a new syntax, a hybrid support, the book-machine , rethinking the book for today technologies. As a result, possible paths in the area of paper computing are unfolded. In the end, this research seeks to contribute with fresh eyes and perspectives on books as art and technology, in a way that the creative process not just absorbs the contemporary advances, but also uses them to break their own limits. / Ao questionar como o livro pode ser repensado para os avanços tecnológicos de hoje, no caso, contemplando uma cultura própria do dispositivo móvel e suas funcionalidades, esta pesquisa estuda tanto o livro quanto o dispositivo móvel como suportes para experimentação e criação artística, desconstruindo-os nos dois primeiros capítulos. Fundamentando-se em vertentes que transgrediram os limites destes meios ao longo do tempo, como a poesia concreta que rompe com a palavra, o livro de artista que rompe com o códice e as narrativas que se transformam em interativas, móveis e contextuais, este estudo teórico transborda para a prática. Dessa forma, a partir desta necessidade de experimentação e de laboratórios realizados durante o percurso de pesquisa, foi realizado, por fim, o projeto prático Eu, fone. Este capítulo, de poética livre, inspira-se nos feitos de Eduardo Kac e o diálogo entre arte e tecnologia para propor uma reconstrução dos meios estudados, com o propósito de configurar uma nova sintaxe baseada em um suporte híbrido, o livro-máquina . Como resultado, desdobram-se caminhos possíveis na área de paper computing, ficando uma contribuição para as criações com meios eletrônicos, apontando para uma forma de criar que não apenas absorva os avanços tecnológicos contemporâneos, mas que os use para romper com seu próprios limites e ir além

Le déploiement continu des technologies et systèmes d'information (TSI) et leur application croissante dans la plupart des activités humaines ont engendré à la fois l'émergence de nombreuses problématiques, et le renouvellement de diverses interrogations d'ordre moral relatives aux différents usages de ces outils. Cette recherche s'inscrit dans ce cadre général d'analyse de l'éthique des TSI, et s'applique au contexte particulier de l'industrie du livre qui connaît actuellement une profonde transformation, étroitement liée au développement de la technologie du livre numérique. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent dans un premier temps, l'étendue et les divers aspects de l'éthique individuelle des utilisateurs dans le cadre général, et le positionnement moral des organisations vis-à-vis de l'usage des TSI. Dans un second temps, ils révèlent les changements sociotechniques apportés par le livre numérique dans l'industrie du livre et leurs perceptions éthiques de la part des différents acteurs de la chaîne du livre. En dernier lieu, l'étude présente un modèle théorique pour appréhender les facteurs explicatifs de l'usage éthique versus non éthique du livre numérique. / The development of information technologies (IT), and their increasing application in most of human activities have led at the same time to the emergence of many issues, and the renewal of various moral questions relating to the IT usage. This research is incorporated within this general framework of analysis of IT ethics, and is applied to the specific context of the book industry, which is currently experiencing a profound transformation due to the development of the eBook technology. The findings of this research show at first, the extent and the diverse aspects of users' individual ethics, and the moral positioning of organizations towards IT usage. Secondly, results reveal the socio-technical changes brought by eBook in the book industry and their ethical perceptions from the book chain actors. Finally, the study presents a theoretical model for understanding the explanatory factors of ethical versus unethical usage of eBook.

書是社會文明的載體，是人類進步的階梯。電腦、網路的飛速發展，使得電子書引發了新一輪的書籍革命。隨著智慧型手機的出現，用手機閱讀電子書以前方便靈活，充分利用零散時間，因此受到年輕人的追捧。但是，電子書本身也存在各樣的問題，諸如不符合人們的閱讀習慣，以及產業鏈的不成熟等。因此，調查使用者的行為模式和對於電子書的喜好，以瞭解使用者對電子書的看法及接受度是本文研究的重點，本研究透過UTAUT模式探討績效期望、付出期望、社會影響、輔助條件等自變數對於使用意圖與使用行為的影響力和預測力。本研究採取問卷調查的方式，在多個網路論壇上發放，共收回問卷352份，其中剔除無效問卷後得到有效樣本計232份，有效的樣本回收率達65.9%。究結果顯示，受試者大多擁有智慧型手機（77%），使用時多以娛樂為目的（55%），僅以工作為目的者最少（4%），大多偶爾閱讀（47%），多數人未曾花錢下載付費電子書（86%）。在電子書使用經驗方面，多數受試者使用電子書不到1年（42%），在使用智慧型手機方面，同樣是使用不到1年時間者居多（60%），而使用智慧型手機閱讀電子書方面，同樣是不足1年最多（68%）。 受試者使用智慧型手機閱讀電子書之績效期望、輔助條件、付出期望等各構面對使用意圖及使用行為的預測達到顯著水準，而社會影響構面與使用經驗干擾變數則影響力未達顯著。 / Books are the vehicle for social civilization and the ladder of human progress. Due to the rapid development of computers and the Internet, electronic books (ebooks) have triggered a new round of the book revolution. With the emergence of smartphones, using mobile phones to read ebooks has become convenient, flexible, and a way to make full use of scattered bits of time. Therefore, the use of smartphones for such purposes has been pursued by young people. However, ebooks present various problems of their own, such as incompatibility with individual reading habits and the immaturity of the industrial chain. Thus, the focus of this study was to survey user behavioral models and affinity for ebooks to understand users views on and degree of acceptance of ebooks. This study used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to investigate the influence and predictive power of the following independent variables on usage intention and usage behavior: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Research results showed that a majority of respondents had smartphones (77 %). Respondents who used their phones mostly for entertainment purposes composed the largest category (55 %), while those who used their phones only for work purposes formed the smallest category (4 %). A large percentage occasionally read ebooks (47 %), but most respondents had never spent money on downloading payable ebooks (86 %). Regarding experience using ebooks, most respondents had used ebooks for under one year (42 %). Regarding experience using smart phones, the group that had used smart phones for less than one year was also the largest (60 %); a high percentage of users (68 %) had been using smart phones to read ebooks for less than one year. The predictive power of performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and effort expectancy on usage intention and usage behavior with regard to using smartphones to read ebooks achieved a level of significance. As for social influence and moderator experience, the predictive power didn’t reach a level of significance.
