CONSUMING CONTENT INCREMENTALLY

摘要

An e-reader application consumes content incrementally during presentation. The application determines a location of another page in the content in response to a user action to load the other page in place of a currently displayed page. A user initiates navigation to the other page by activating a navigation control to display an adjacent page or a random page of the content. An increment of the content containing the other page is retrieved from the determined location. An anchor associated with the other page can be used to find the location in the content. The increment is processed to extract the other page. Processing can include decoding the increment using a standard format used to store the increment. The extracted page is displayed by the application while unloading the previously displayed page from system memory.
