Abstract

A method and system for effecting repagination of e-book content in conjunction with applying a digital bookmark. The method comprises receiving a request for placement of a digital bookmark at a content portion within a current page of the e-book content rendered at the display screen, bookmarking the content portion, and repaginating the current page based on a location of the bookmarked content portion within the current page.

Claims (31)

1 . A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a display screen, a memory storing instructions and an e-book having content displayable according to an ordered sequence of digitally constructed pages, the method comprising:

receiving a request for placement of a digital bookmark at a content portion within a current page of the e-book content rendered at the display screen;

bookmarking the content portion; and

repaginating the current page based on a location of the bookmarked content portion within the current page.

2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising terminating display of the e-book content at the display screen.

3 . The method of claim 2 further comprising rendering the repaginated current page at the display screen upon resumption of display of the e-book content.

4 . The method of claim 3 wherein the resumption of display of the e-book content is triggered upon a power-on of the computing device.

5 . The method of claim 1 wherein a beginning content portion of the repaginated current page includes a text content portion immediately following the bookmarked content portion.

6 . The method of claim 1 wherein a beginning content portion of the repaginated current page includes the bookmarked content portion.

7 . The method of claim 6 wherein the bookmarked content portion is rendered visually distinct from a remainder of the repaginated current page.

8 . The method of claim 7 wherein the visual distinction consists of one of: an underlining, a color highlighting, a text color, a text brightness level, a font type and a boldness type.

9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the e-book is one of an e-magazine and an e-comic.

10 . A computer-readable medium that stores instructions and an e-book for a computing device, the computing device including a processor and a memory storing instructions, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

receiving a request for placement of a digital bookmark at a content portion within a current page of the e-book content rendered at a display screen, the e-book content being displayable at the display screen according to an ordered sequence of digitally constructed pages;

bookmarking the content portion; and

repaginating the current page based on a location of the bookmarked content portion.

11 . A computing device comprising:

a display screen;

a memory that stores a set of instructions and an e-book, the e-book having content displayable at the display screen according to an ordered sequence of digitally constructed pages; and

a processor that access the instructions in memory, the processor further configured to:

receive a request for placement of a digital bookmark at a content portion within a current page of the e-book content rendered at the display screen;

bookmark the content portion; and

repaginate the current page based on a location of the bookmarked content portion.

12 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the processor is further configured to terminate display of the e-book content at the display screen.

13 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the processor is further configured to render the repaginated current page at the display screen upon resumption of display of the e-book content.

14 . The computing device of claim 13 wherein the processor is further configured to resume display of the e-book content upon a power-on of the computing device.

15 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein a beginning content portion of the repaginated current page includes a text content portion immediately following the bookmarked content portion.

16 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein a beginning content portion of the repaginated current page includes the bookmarked content portion.

17 . The computing device of claim 16 wherein the bookmarked content portion is rendered visually distinct from a remainder of the repaginated current page.

18 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein the visual distinction consists of one of: an underlining, a color highlighting, a text color, a text brightness level, a font type and a boldness type.

19 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the e-book is one of an e-magazine and an e-comic.
