In order to achieve these purposes, questionnaires based on the results of the experts committee and the interviews were used, the development phases of the electronic textbook(analysis - design - development - experiment - evaluation - revise - application) are reviewed, and the directions of the electronic textbook are considered in terms of the design of learning contents, functional components, and technical components. The questions were composed of six areas: social and ethical area, content area, teachinglearning area, evaluation area, function area, and technical area. The data revealed that fairness, the level of learners, authenticity, the design of classroom activities, evaluation, and the function and technical device of the electronic textbooks in the six areas are very important factors in assessing and choosing the electronic textbooks. In this study, it is proposed that the social and ethical area, the content area, the teachinglearning area, the evaluation area, the function area, and the technical area need to be considered in making the electronic textbooks.
