Présente les résultats d'une enquête approfondie menée auprès de 50 lecteurs d'e-books sur leurs pratiques et usages. Après avoir décrit la méthodologie de l'enquête, les auteures explorent la place de la lecture dans la vie des personnes interrogées, ses modalités, la généalogie de ses différentes pratiques et terminent en abordant la posture du lecteur, entre rationalisation et innovation. ©Electre 2015 Le livre numérique, la lecture numérique et plus encore le lectorat numérique sont au cœur des préoccupations actuelles des professionnels des bibliothèques, du secteur de l?édition et de la presse ou encore des chercheurs en Sciences Humaines et Sociales. Prenant appui sur les résultats qualitatifs et quantitatifs de l?enquête ± Usages d?Ebook et pratiques d?écran , une des premières du genre menée entre 2011 et 2013, cet ouvrage présente le regard de deux chercheuses françaises en Sciences de la Communication sur un objet en construction, traversé de controverses et porteur de promesses. S?abstenant de tout discours déterministe ou prescripteur sur la place des liseuses et autres tablettes, cette étude sur la formation des usages des ± digital content questionne deux processus qui s?entrelacent : les pratiques culturelles liées aux livres, mais aussi celles liées aux écrans. Cette recherche, financée par le Conseil Scientifique de Paris 8, se veut avant tout heuristique et critique, elle apporte des éléments de compréhension des enjeux à l?œuvre dans les pratiques de lecture numérique en émergence et à propos de la formation des usages innovants déclarés par le corpus de cinquante lecteurs numériques. Structuré en 6 chapitres, ce compte-rendu de recherche permet à la fois de présenter l?étude et sa méthodologie, de donner une première lecture du corpus étudié et d?évaluer la complexité du sujet à travers plusieurs de ses versants : celui de la lecture numérique, celui des modalités de lecture, celui de la généalogie ? à la fois du dispositif et de la lecture-, pour aborder enfin la question de la posture du lecteur entre rationalisation et innovation. Ainsi cet ouvrage invite-t-il le lecteur à repenser le rapport entre dispositif technologique et formation des usages ainsi qu?à souligner l?importance des facteurs comme l?identité, la représentation de la technologie comme celle de la lecture chez les lecteurs ± numériques .
