Abstract
This report summarizes the impact of access to e-book platforms on students and their motivation levels. Schools in the UK Provide performance data before and after e-book projects selection of the group of interviewed students and practitioners and students focus groups allow you to study the initial results in depth. The average academic performance during the project was eight months. In this study, boys progressed significantly more than girls in reading skills, increasing from an average of seven months to eight months on average compared to girls. The pleasure of learning increased significantly during the project, especially in terms of the pleasure of learning through technology. Many students thought it was good to study after the project. Few of them said that it was difficult to study or that they could not find a study that interested them. In the case of boys, the change in positive attitude was more pronounced. In particular, the pleasure of reading increased for the boys that did it with the least pleasure of reading. The boys who showed no interest in reading at the beginning of the project lead to show a marked change in their reading attitude. Most students prefer to study using technology, but most students do not like the format of their study.
