<p>A method of controlling a rate of information displayed in an electronic book (100) includes reading machine-readable data (700) from a machine-readable storage medium (136) installed in the electronic book (100). The machine-readable data (700) is representative of a plurality of pages (702) of a book. At least one page of the book is displayed on a display device (130), and a reading pace of a user (704) is monitored over the at least one page of the book. Each of a plurality of subsequent pages (706) of the book are displayed on the display device (130) for a respective duration commensurate with the reading pace. Optionally, a highlight (708) is scrolled across each of the plurality of subsequent pages at a rate commensurate with the reading pace. The highlight can be in a form of a selectively backlit portion of the display device (130).</p> |
