Conceptualizing Perceived Benefits and Investigating Its Role in Adoption of Tablet Computers among Newspaper Subscribers

This paper conceptualizes perceived benefit as a combination of eco-consciousness, social prestige, and extra services and proposes a research model for user acceptance of tablet computers. The model was tested among newspaper subscribers (n = 904) in one of the Nordic countries using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
