In the study, picture books and interactive e-book adaptations of picture books were used to explore readers’ transmedia interpretations of the same pictorial narrative. Transmedia participation and intermedia interpretation are related, regarding generic intertextuality, referential intertextuality and imagination. Intermedia interpretation occurs when a reader familiar with the traditional form of a certain picture book is presented with an interactive electronic version. The reader experiences negation and becomes fascinated by the interactive design of the e-picture book. The new form stimulates the reader's interest in further interpreting and exploring the narrative. When a reader interprets a picture book, the wandering viewpoint is based on page-by-page reading, and the reader's imagination bridges gaps between pictures and texts. When a reader engages with an interactive e-book, the experience is initiated
through indications to touch and click the screen. The reader ascertains the narrative logic of e-picture books, and their wandering viewpoint is redefined.
