POINT OF INTEREST COLLABORATIVE E-READING

摘要

A computing device includes a housing and a display assembly having a screen and a set of touch sensors. The housing at least partially circumvents the screen so that the screen is viewable. A processor is provided within the housing to manage an e-book library associated with the computing device. Specifically, the e-book library includes at least a first e-book. The processor further associates the computing device with a reading group having a plurality of group members, and detects that a copy of the first e-book resides in an e-book library of a first group member of the plurality of group members. Upon detecting the copy of the first e-book, the processor then selectively initiates a shared reading mode for the first e-book.
