Abstract
A user may often be reading the same content on multiple different electronic devices, and this user may also wish to read the same content on printed pages of a physical book. In this case, described is a hybrid print medium that includes both printed pages and a computer system allowing a user to synchronize a current reading location in the hybrid print medium with the same content being read on one or more electronic devices. In different cases, this synchronization may include a synchronization service or the synchronization may occur directly between a hybrid print medium and an electronic device storing an electronic version of the content within the hybrid print medium.
