Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011028944A1] A user interface for a touch-screen display of a dedicated handheld electronic book reader device is described. The user interface detects human gestures manifest as pressure being applied by a finger or stylus to regions on the touch-screen display. The touch-screen user interface enables a user to turn one or more pages in response to applying a force or pressure to the touch-screen display; alternatively, the touch-screen user interface is configured to bookmark a page temporarily by applying a pressure to the display, then allowing a user to turn pages to a new page, but reverting back to a previously-displayed page when the pressure is removed. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface identifies and filters electronic books based on book size and/or a time available to read a book In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface converts text to speech in response to a user touching the touch-screen display.
