Why is it so difficult to manage a web bookstore? Has it not yet developed a popular trend for reading electronic books? Where are the obstacles? How can we solve them? I would like to explore such issues from the viewpoint of a book-fan and reader and try to find out a new technical solution, which is both imaginative and creative. This paper reviews the oriental reading styles and western reading format respectively, to find out the new digital reading format and the possibilities to build new reading interfaces. Finally, this paper also provides a new reading blueprint for Chinese format.
