2. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the at least one layer comprises:

selecting an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text according to the user input.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the at least one layer comprises:

selecting a layer subordinating an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text according to the user input.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting at least one layer comprises:

selecting grouped layers according to the user input.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting at least one layer comprises:

selecting an entire layer of at least one page according to the user input.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting at least one layer comprises:

selecting an entire layer of pages dealing with related content according to the user input.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein storing content of the selected at least one layer in the scrap book comprises:

storing content of the selected at least one layer for each layer type,

wherein the layer type comprises at least one of an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text, a layer subordinating the article layer, grouped layers, an entire layer of pages dealing with related content, and an entire layer of all pages of a digital magazine.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting at least one layer comprises:

when a touch point of a touch event via a touchscreen belongs to one layer, selecting the layer according to the user input; and

when the touch point of the touch event via the touchscreen belongs to a plurality of layers, selecting at least one of the layers according to the user input.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting at least one of content stored in the scrap book, and editing content comprising the selected at least one content and generate the content according to the user input.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting one of content stored in the scrap book, and outputting the selected content via a viewer according to the user input.

11. An electronic device for a digital magazine that is edited in layers, the device comprising:

an input unit configured to output an input signal;

an output unit configured to output voice or an image for an output signal; and

a controller configured to select at least one layer via the input unit, and store content of the selected at least one layer in the storage according to a user input from the input unit.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text via the input unit.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select a layer subordinating an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text via the input unit.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select grouped layers via the input unit.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select an entire layer of at least one page via the input unit.

16. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select an entire layer of pages dealing with related content via the input unit.

17. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to store content of the selected at least one layer for each layer type in the storage,

wherein the layer type comprises at least one of an article layer comprising at least one of a multimedia image, sounds, an attached file, a link, and text, a layer subordinating the article layer, grouped layers, an entire layer of pages dealing with related content, and an entire layer of all pages of a digital magazine.

18. The device of claim 11, wherein when a touch point of a touch event via the input unit belongs to one layer, the controller is configured to select the layer;

and

when the touch point of the touch event via the input unit belongs to a plurality of layers, the controller is configured to select at least one of the layers.

19. The device of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to select at least one of content stored in the storage via the input unit, and edit content comprising the selected at least one content via the input unit and generate the content.
