Architectures and techniques are described to tag annotations of electronic books and to manage the tags. In particular implementations, a client device may tag one or more annotations of an electronic book, where each of the annotations may be associated with a portion of the electronic book. The client device may request and obtain annotations associated with one or more tags and export the annotations to at least one destination, such as an additional client device, a file, an application, or a combination thereof. Additionally, annotation tags may be shared by members of a particular group. Thus, one member of the group can obtain and utilize tags used by other members of the group.

An electronic book distribution system includes electronic devices that reset their passcodes after specified authentication failures. The passcodes of an individual electronic device is reset to a value that is generated using a predefined function of a randomly generated support code. The support code is displayed to the user, and the user is instructed to contact a support service in order to obtain the new passcode. The support service independently authenticates the user, calculates the new device passcode using the same predefined function used by the electronic device, and provides the new passcode to the user.

Content portions to be presented on a display of an electronic device are identified by designating portions of a digital image as content regions and other portions of the digital image as non-content regions. The content portions are then identified from within the content region, in which each content portion has a predetermined width. Each content portion is then expanded to produce an expanded content portion. Each expanded content portion is presented on a display of an electronic device in a sequential manner.

The techniques disclosed herein allow a user to synchronize the playing and displaying of digital content on an electronic device. The device may render a first portion of digital content so it may be displayed. The device may also play a segment of the digital content as audio using text to speech software. The device may also render a second portion of digital content for display depending on whether the position of the last word read is greater than the last position in the first portion of digital content.
摘要:
A user device determines a reading speed value for each of a plurality of measurable units of an electronic publication. The user device adds each reading speed value into one of a plurality of data sets or one of a plurality of outlier sets. The user device calculates the average reading speed of the user based on one or more of the plurality of data sets.
