Introduction: Interaction is one of the basic features of electronic textbooks, that is considered to be the main distinction between the print and traditional books as well. Various studies have shown that various people recall 60 percent of what they had interaction with. This confirms the essential role of "Interaction" in the design of learning environments and educational materials. Theoretical fundamentals and research literature show that in spite of significant differences between traditional and electronic books , especially in terms of design principles however, when preparing electronic textbooks, design principles of interaction and participation has been less considered. So, extracting different comments and issues, the present article has introduced the possible interactions and suitable beds for interactive e-books design.

  This study was conducted aiming at investigating the role and place of interaction in the electronic textbook and providing practical guidance for proper design.

  Conclusion: Interaction is one of the major influential elements in electronic textbook which is confirmed by several studies that necessitates the precision and attention of designers and producers of electronic textbooks.
