Abstract

Due to advancements in information technology, digital books (i.e., books published in digital form) are becoming increasingly used in the field of education, especially in Indonesia. Although previous studies have focused on the advantages of using digital books in educational activities, such as influencing users to read the materials more frequently and providing the flexibility to read the materials on compatible devices, some users only read certain sections, instead of the entire text. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess an interactive digital book (based on the ePub format) at a vocational school in Indonesia, with specific focus on its media aspects, presentation materials, and benefits. Based on the results of the descriptive and statistical analyses, the digital book effectively supported the students’ vocational learning activities. Moreover, on average, 95% of the students agreed with the digital book’s media aspects, 97% agreed with its presentation materials, and 99% agreed with its benefits. The implication of the findings is that digital books can be effective tools for acquiring information and teaching vocational skills.
