Do you think the author’s definition of usability
“If something is usable—whether it’s a Web site, a remote control, or a revolving door—it means that a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can figure out how to use the thing to accomplish something without it being more trouble than it’s worth.”
leaves out anything important?
Why do you think he included “…without it being more trouble than it’s worth”?
If something is usable it doesn’t always mean that it’s easy to figure out how to use it. In some cases it may require effort, like reading instructions, searching online for help, or even referring to a manual. What matters is that the effort required is justified by the payoff. (We’re always doing this mental effort/reward calculation when we’re trying
to figure out how to use something.)
