    Abstract: Differences between editions of items, such as books, can be determined and information about those difference provided for display to a user. The information can include a difference score, for example, that indicates an overall level of difference between the editions. This can include a percentage difference in some embodiments, considering the overall differences or differences for portions considered to be significant. In other embodiments contextual information, weightings, and other factors can be used to attempt to generate a similarity (or difference) score that will be of more use to a potential consumer, where the consumer can determine the substantive differences between the versions and determine whether the difference in price justifies the extent of the differences. The consumer in some embodiments can also view the differences, or at least a subset or information about the differences.

    Abstract: An electronic device can utilize image information to determine a proper orientation with which to render content. In some embodiments, a camera of a computing device can capture one or more images to attempt to determine a relative location (or direction) of a user by identifying a feature of a user or by using objects in the image to determine a likely direction of a user. Based at least in part on this information, as well as information from position and motion sensors of the device in some embodiments, a device can determine a relative position of a user, and can cause content to be rendered by the device with an orientation that is appropriate for that position, where the orientation can also depend upon the type of content or other such factors. Such an approach can determine proper orientations in situations where conventional sensor-based approaches are not sufficient.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying relationships between items included in user-created item lists and a predefined set of keywords based at least in part upon a comparison of the item list titles and the keywords. Each item lists title may be compared with the set of keywords to determine if any of the title terms in the item list title matches any of the keywords. If a match is detected, each of the items included in the item list are associated with the matching keyword. Items that are associated with a particular keyword based on the comparison may be added to an item category corresponding to the keyword.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for registration of destination identifiers to be used in lieu of geographic addresses. In one embodiment, a user specification of a destination identifier is received. It is determined that the destination identifier is available for registration. A user request is received to register the destination identifier as associated with a geographic address. The destination identifier is registered in response to the user request by creating a stored mapping between the destination identifier and the geographic address.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing search results that are generated by considering search terms that are typically ignored. A user may enter a search query containing search terms that may be specific to a particular search domain. Common words within the search query that are typically ignored in standard searches may be assigned a consideration weight based on a set of rules associated with the search domain. Based on the consideration weight, those words may be considered when generating search results. The consideration weight may decrease as the number of search terms in the search query increases.
