Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums for creating and presenting an outline view, the outline view including a first user navigable graphical panel, the first panel displaying first organizational elements corresponding to a first outline level of an electronic content work; a second user navigable graphical panel, the second panel displaying one or more child organizational elements of a selected first organizational element, the child organizational elements corresponding to a second outline level of the electronic content work; and one or more content previews of content within the electronic content work in the first or second panel, the content previews corresponding to the first or second outline levels of the electronic content work, respectively.

Outline view

In a method and a system for an Internet copy protection method, a source document markup file is partitioned into a plurality of subsets of text, one or more graphical representations of at least some of the plurality of subsets are created and those subsets of text in the source document are processed to create a transformed document, location information is also generated, which identifies a position in the transformed documents that is equivalent to the position of the textual content which corresponds to the graphical representation in the source document. The transformed document, graphical representations, and location information may then be transmitted over a network to a client device.

Web based copy protection

In one embodiment, a user of a first portable digital computing device creates an annotation associated with a particular reading location within a reference document. The annotation and the reading location are shared with a second portable digital computing device storing a copy of the reference document. Using the shared information, the second device displays the reference document with the annotation shown at the reading location.

Systems for sharing annotations and location references for same for displaying the annotations in context with an electronic document

A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for updating content are presented. A first version of content residing on a user device is determined, and a second version of content relating to the first version of content is determined. Version information for each file within a second set of files organized within a second archive of the second version of content is sequentially accessed based on a second order of the second set of files in the second archive, the version information indicating a version of each file. A determination is made of when version information indicating a newer version of content has been accessed from the second archive, and new content associated with the newer version is provided to the user device.
