Reading comprehension is a significant challenge for Indonesian students, with poor reading skills, limited vocabulary, and lack of motivation as contributing factors. To solve the problem, electronic books are needed to support students' reading comprehension. The present study aimed to determine whether using electronic books with the SQ3R technique affects students' reading comprehension in the classroom. The pre-experimental design, which consisted of one group pre-test and post-test, questionnaires, and interviews, was used in this research. Thirty 7th-grade students who had never used electronic books as a teaching medium in Bandung. The research findings indicated a significance pre-test (42.33) and post-test (68.33) scores obtained at 26.00 by using paired sample t-test. The t-score of 6.547 is higher than the t-table 2.0425; the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was not rejected. The N-Gain score has a mean of 48.26%, which was less effective. The questionnaires showed that most students gave their positive perspectives on the use of the satisfactions, the usefulness, and the behavioral intention of electronic books. The Interview showed the differences in students' perspective on the higher, average, and lower scores of electronic books on reading comprehension.
