The thirty experts answered questionnaires in three rounds. It also analyzed the four types of the establishing digital textbooks which were categorized according to textbook developers. This study concluded that the evaluation criteria for digital textbook consist of 4 evaluation domains and 17 questions.

Further research should be needed to identify the problems and challenges which may potentially occur during the evaluation processes of digital textbooks.
