Abstract
A reader device for reading e-books may connect directly or indirectly to a cloud e-book service. The reader device may request access to a purchased otherwise obtained e-book through the cloud e-book service. The cloud e-book service retrieves a specification dataset that describes various characteristics of the reader device, such as display type and included hardware, and identifies any problematic media types that the reader device cannot properly display. The cloud e-book service then obtains an original copy of the requested e-book and or converts it into a modified e-book dataset by replacing at least one problematic media element of the problematic media type with a replacement media element that is properly displayable by the reader device. The cloud e-book service then transmits the modified e-book dataset to the reader device. The conversion may, for example, replace a video with a still frame from the video.
