    Abstract: An electronic book system includes an assessment module that determines how suitable a particular book is for conversion to audio presentation format. The extent of image content is determined and compared with the amount of text in the book. Images are categorized and then weighted based on factors including image size, context of image with respect to surrounding text, and repetition of the image. An overall assessment score is generated as a metric for how suitable the book is for conversion to audio format. Image weightings are also usable to determine which images may be provided to users along with the audio version.

    Abstract: A system and method for selective control of zoom adjustments in an electronic publication is disclosed. The method may include generating content for display on an electronic reading device; generating at least one style for the content, and storing the content and the at least one style on a computer readable medium. The generation of at least one style may include identifying at least a portion of the content for which at least one zoom level will be specified; specifying a base text size for the portion of the content; and specifying a first value to increment the base text size to a first zoom state text size. A method for rendering an electronic document on an electronic device may include storing content representing an electronic publication in a computer memory of the electronic device, the content including at least one style for a portion of the content, the at least one style including a base text size for the portion of the content and at least a first value to increment the base text size to a first zoom state text size; rendering the contents according to the at least one style; and incrementing the base text size for the portion of the content by the first value in response to a user input to zoom.

    Abstract: A system to process graphical elements within a book during assessment of the book for suitability for conversion to an audio format includes an image classification subsystem, an image processing subsystem, and a weighting subsystem. The image classification subsystem is configured to classify a graphical element based on at least one of a context of the graphical element and properties of the graphical element. The image processing subsystem is configured process the graphical element to create a processed graphical element, the processing responsive to the classification of the graphical element. The weighting subsystem is configured to produce a weighting corresponding to the processed graphical element, the weighting indicating an impact of the graphical element of suitability of the book for conversion to the audio format.
