*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Innovative systems in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) alter the way we 
read and understand texts fundamentally. The novel reading experiences 
shifts our perception and deliver the visual, textual and sensory data 
in exploratory ways. HCI altered reading systems can take into account 
the needs and the preferences of the user and transform reading 
environments with design features. The aim of this focus section is to 
investigate emerging book formats and reading experiences supported by 
HCI that can have benefits in education, well-being, sustainability and 
creativity. Visionary and artistic work as well as research in 
connection to reading via emerging interactive technologies will be 
overviewed.

Focus Section in IxDxA Journal stems out of a NordiCHI 2016 Workshop 
entitled, “The Future of Books and Reading in HCI”. It builds on the 
exchanges through the workshop, and it aims to reflect on how book 
systems will be altered in the future in radical ways.
