System independent remote storing of digital content

摘要

A system and a method are disclosed for a content delivery system that enable system-independent, remote storing of digital content on any number of a user's devices. The system and method enable a user to designate a digital content item appearing in a web page for storage, as well as a specific, separate device on which to store the content item. The digital content item is not restricted to being viewed or accessed within the content delivery system, but rather the content delivery system enables remote storing of digital content across multiple different systems, from multiple different content sources, for viewing on multiple different devices for any given user.
