Method and system for illustrating sound and text

A method for illustrating sound and text utilizing a book holder including a reading controller, a speaker, and a magnetic signature sensor with one or more reading elements, said book holder adapted to accept a book with pages including illustrations and/or text, at least some of said pages including magnetic signatures, the method comprising the steps of:

• attaching said magnetic signatures in a specified location on said pages;
• detecting the specified locations of said magnetic signatures utilizing said reading elements of said magnetic signature sensor;
• correlating said specified locations with stored audio representations related to said illustrations and/or text of said pages;
• and
• delivering audible sounds corresponding to said stored audio representations via said speaker to accompany the illustrations and/or text on said page or pages.

An electronic book reader system for illustrating sound and text comprising:

• a reading surface adapted to accept a book with pages, said pages including illustrations and/or text, at least some of said pages including magnetic signatures attached at specified locations;
• a book support surface adjoined to one side of said reading surface, said book support surface adapted to support said page or pages viewed by a user;
• a magnetic signature sensor including one or more individualized reading elements, said magnetic signature sensor predisposed to detect said magnetic signatures on said pages as they are turned by said user viewing said book;
• a bracket coupled to said reading surface adapted to hold said book in place while said page or pages are turned;
• a reading controller adapted to interact with said magnetic signature sensor in order to determine what page or pages said user is viewing;
• and
• a power supply communicably coupled with said reading controller adapted to activate and de-activate the functionality of said electronic book reader;
• a cartridge slot within said electronic book reader adapted to receive a cartridge including stored audio representations related to said illustrations and/or text of said pages;
• and
• a speaker communicably coupled with said reading controller adapted to deliver said audio representations for listening and reading along with said page or pages viewed by said user.
• wherein said reading controller is adapted to retrieve and reproduce said audio representations of said illustrations and/or text stored on said cartridge corresponding to said page or pages being viewed by said user.

A cartridge device for storing text and audio content converted into electronic equivalent representations of said text and audio content for use in an electronic book reader system, the device comprising:

• a carrier means for housing said electronic equivalent representations;
• a chip adapted to store said electronic equivalent representations;
• and
• a plurality of pins adapted to communicate with said electronic book reader system.
