Abstract
This paper describes a study on electronic book (eBook) among Malaysian children. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the Malaysian children acceptance of three types of eBook readers (i.e. Plus, Comic, and Spiral). The acceptance study is based on users´ perceptions on ease of use and usefulness of the three readers. As a result, majority of respondents do not give clear distinction among the readers. Generally, all readers are useful and easy to use because very big majority of the respondents (the least is 74.8%) agree with the positive statements. The users also perceived Comic reader as the easiest reader to use.
