A method () for toggling multi-network connectivity of a mobile device () includes, for the mobile device simultaneously connected to one or more carrier-mediated wireless networks () associated with a network operator (), executing a graphical user interface that renders a status graphic () indicating the mobile device is currently connected to at least one carrier-mediated wireless network associated with the network operator, and an interactive graphic () for selecting between disabling and enabling connections () between the mobile device and carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator. The method includes receiving a user input indication () indicating selection of the interactive graphic and in response, disconnecting the mobile device from each of the carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator and updating the status graphic to indicate that the mobile device is not currently connected to any carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator.

An e-book includes a rendering definition that specifies how content of the e-book is to be displayed to a user and how the user may interact with the displayed content. The rendering definition defines, for each portion of the e-book, the visual layout of content associated with the portion when the portion is displayed. The rendering definition also defines transition controlled animations for objects displayed in association with the content. The transition controlled animation of an object is an interpolation of the object over time and space that is manipulated by a continuous transition input. The transition input causes a transition from one portion of the e-book to another portion of the e-book. The transition controlled animation of the object is performed during transition from one portion of the e-book to the other portion.

A client (e.g., an eReader) includes a reader application module for presenting content to a user of the client. The reader application module displays an interface including a plurality of pages of a digital content to a user of a client. The reader application module identifies a point of interest included in a page of the plurality of pages of the digital content and assigns a physics model to the identified point of interest. The physics model may be selected from a plurality of physics models based on a type of the point of interest. The reader application module receiving an interaction from the user wanting to skim through the plurality of pages of the digital content and applies the physics model responsive to receiving the interaction from the user.
