To achieve that, all 2013 curriculum suggest discovery learning model. This model can be integrated in e-book teaching materials. This study aims to describe the characteristics of students as e-book users and the results of the analysis will be a reference in the development of e-book Physics High School based on discovery learning models. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with data collection instruments in the form of a student questionnaire consisting of four characteristics of students namely independence of learning, interest, motivation and learning style. From the results of the analysis it can be illustrated that students have a low level of independence, interest and motivation and the most dominant learning style is visual. These results indicate that the development of high school physics e-books based on discovery learning needs to be done by considering the learning style aspects when designing
