“…Despite introducing emotional elements as determinants of adoption intention, the extant literature holds that adoption is conditioned by attitude towards the technology (Jung et al, 2011;Read et al, 2011;Shin, 2011;Lee, 2013;Jin, 2014;Waheed et al, 2015). These works overlook the fact that readers seek pleasure.…”

“…While previous works have concluded that the main determinant of the intention to use this technology is attitude (Jung et al, 2011;Read et al, 2011;Lee, 2013;Jin, 2014;Waheed et al, 2015), we place the emphasis on the pleasure derived from using it. E-readers will be used only if the perceived advantages (mainly the reading features and the possibility of free downloading) make the individual enjoy a pleasant experience when using the e-reader.…”

“…Most of the empirical research has studied the determinants of adoption and diffusion from models that extend the application of TAM (Read et al, 2011;Shin, 2011;Lai and Chang, 2011;Lee 2013;Aharony, 2014;Jin, 2014;Williams et al, 2014) or IDT (Jung et al, 2011;Huang and Hsieh, 2012;Waheed et al, 2015) to explain the adoption of ebooks or e-readers. In these models, adoption of the technology has mostly been conditioned by cognitive or rational motives (e.g., perceived ease-of-use and usefulness, convenience, compatibility or media richness), with few works (Antón et al, 2013;Ferreira et al, 2014;Torres et al, 2014;Chen, 2015) considering the role of more emotional motives (enjoyment, playfulness, entertainment or pleasure).…”

“…Few works provide clues about subsequent stages in adoption. Some (Shin, 2011;Jin, 2014;Chen, 2015) have studied the continuance intention to read e-books or to use e-book readers to reflect consumer loyalty and repurchase behaviour after initial adoption. To the best of our knowledge, the only study into the actual use of e-readers is the one by Huang and Hsieh (2012), who contend that consumers' perceptions about the innovation characteristics affect their acceptance behaviour, both directly and indirectly via their perception of switching costs.…”

Purpose -We analyse the adoption process of e-book readers and examine how the perception about the advantages of this technology and its incompatibility with consumer values determine the pleasure felt and its effective use. We also propose that consumer involvement with ICTs moderates these effects.Design/methodology/approach -Hierarchical moderated regression analysis is used to test the proposed model with survey data from a sample of e-book reader owners.Findings -Appraisal of the device's reading features and the possibility for free downloading increases the pleasure found with its use and the extent to which it is actually used, whereas attachment to paper books decreases the emotional feeling, some of these effects being moderated by the individual's involvement with new ICTs. Pleasure mediates the influence of perceived advantages and attachment to the older technology on the use of the e-book reader device.Practical implications -Two challenges to practitioners are suggested: to overcome the rejection of users less eager to experience pleasure and to use the e-reader, and to find the product's objective or sensory characteristics that provide pleasure and promote long-lasting use.Originality/value -The study extends previous studies on e-book readers by emphasizing the need to go beyond adoption intention. It analyses effective use as a crucial measure of the true adoption of this technology and incorporates the perspective offered by the appraisal theory of emotion, which explains the key role of pleasure in this process.

“…O e-book, uma publicação passível de leitura em equipamentos eletrônicos, é um exemplo desse desenvolvimento em direção ao digital (BALHAUS, 2010;EILLEN;MUSTO, 2010;JIN, 2014;POON, 2014). Na perspectiva dos editores, a produção dos e-books é mais fácil quando comparada com a produção em papel, apresentando custos mais reduzidos aliados à inexistência da necessidade de investimentos em equipamentos de impressão.…”
