e-Books can be read using different devices such as desktops, tablets, or smartphones. In other words, the platform for e-reading may bring different effects on the behaviors of the e-book adoption.

Particularly, m-learning, using mobile devices for their learning purposes, has received attention from researchers recently [8,13].
