An e-book management system receives a request for an e-book from a user client operated by a user. The e-book management system accesses a user profile associated with the user and an e-book profile associated with the e-book. The e-book profile contains content sections referencing portions of the e-book, and containing information describing the characteristics of those portions. Based on the user profile, display settings for the e-book are generated. The display settings contain instructions describing how to transform the e-book based on the content sections. The display settings may be used by the e-book management system to transform the e-book, which can then be sent to the user client. Alternatively, the display settings may be sent to the user client, where they may be used to transform the e-book prior to display. |
