SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM SAMPLE TO FULL VERSION OF DIGITAL CONTENT

摘要

A client (e.g., an eReader) receives and displays a sample version of content to a user retrieved from a store server. The sample version is a subset of the full version of the content. The client determines a location in the sample content in which to insert a buy page that allows the user to purchase the full version. The buy page may be inserted at a location that minimizes the time the user spends waiting for the full version to be installed on the client. The client uses one or more locating factors to determine the location. The user may interact with the buy page inserted at the determined location to purchase the full version of the content. The client interacts with the store server to conduct the purchase transaction, and seamlessly transitions the user from the sample to the full version of the content.

1. A computer-implemented method of transitioning from a sample version of digital content to a full version of the content, comprising:
displaying the sample version of the content to a user of a client, wherein the sample version of the content is a subset of the full version of the client; determining a location in the sample version of the content to insert a buy page that lets the user purchase the full version of the content; inserting the buy page at the determined location in the sample version of the content; and responsive to the user purchasing the full version of the content, seamlessly transitioning from the sample version of the content to the full version of the content.
