Abstract
Los libros electrónicos (o e-Books) son copias digitales de un libro o publicaciones digitales que tienen la extensión de un libro. En la última década se han vuelto muy populares
y son ampliamente utilizados. Cada día más y más editores digitalizan sus libros de texto y más dispositivos son capaces de leer estos libros electrónicos. La comunicación humana ha sufrido enormes cambios a finales del siglo XX y
comienzos del XXI. Con la invención de Internet la información tan amplia de la que disponemos ha cambiado cada aspecto de la vida del ser humano, especialmente nuestra
educación. Una de las aplicaciones más importantes del libro electrónico es el aprendizaje electrónico (o e-Learning). Este aprendizaje incluye varios tipos de medios, como videos, sonidos, textos, imágenes y animaciones. La interactividad en un libro electrónico puede aumentar el nivel de atención en clase y favorecer un mejor rendimiento educativo. En este trabajo se investiga y analiza el proceso de creación de un libro electrónico interactivo. El trabajo de campo incluye el uso de software muy conocido de Adobe como InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Captivate y Edge Animate. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es crear un libro electrónico interactivo para describir el proceso e identificar las ventajas y desventajas de las diversas técnicas existentes. Se ha desarrollado como caso de
estudio un e-Book con varios capítulos provenientes de un libro de texto real sobre Física para Educación Secundaria. El libro original ha sido enriquecido con imágenes, videos, juegos de preguntas y animaciones interactivas para ilustrar las posibilidades de este nuevo medio.
Electronic books are electronic copy of a book or a book-length digital publication. In the past decade they have become very popular and widely used.

Main goal of this work is to create an interactive electronic book, describe the process and identify advantages and disadvantages of the different available techniques. An e-book containing some chapters from a high school book of physics is developed as a case of study. Original book is enriched with pictures, videos, quizzes and interactive animations in order to illustrate the possibilities of the medium
