Mobile and Tablet Devices

In order to figure out what programs to use and languages to code, I need to know what device(s) I am creating my project for. Because I want to use this paper to further enhance my skills for my final project, I will look at New Zealand statistics as it is going to be used and accessed here.  And although most eBook examples I have researched have been only available for tablet, I want to confirm that is the best option for me.



According to these statistics, majority of New Zealanders own Apple iOS devices. Although slightly decreasing, it seems to still remain much more popular than Android and Other models.



Referring to this graph, it is also clear that the use of handheld devices (laptops and tablets) is increasing, and have become more popular than desktop computers. 

Taking all this into account, I believe it is best to design my interactive solution for an Apple iPad. Theoretically, majority of users will understand the Apple interface and features better, and it reflects a book size more accurately than any other digital device.
