Abstract
A wide variety of content is available for consumption by users on the Internet. Access to this content is facilitated by providing a system to convert at least a portion of this content and distribute the converted content to one or more reader devices. The converted content is configured for presentation on the one or more reader devices. The conversion process may be initiated by a conversion control presented with the content and activated by a user.
Claims27
A system, comprising:
- at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions;
- at least one network interface device;
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one network interface device and the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- provide a selectable content control in association with a presentation of accessible content via a first user device, wherein the accessible content comprises a set of words and an image;
- receive an indication of a user selection of the content control designating the image of the accessible content to be first content, and the set of words of the accessible content to be second content;
- receive a request from the first user device to send the first content to a second user device, wherein the second user device is different than the first user device and comprises a reflective display, and wherein the request comprises an identification of the first content and the second content;
- determine a device characteristic of the second user device;
- determine a format for the first content based at least in part on the device characteristic;
- at least partly in response to the received request, generate converted content at least in part by removing the second content from the accessible content, wherein the converted content is formatted in the format;
- and
- transmit the converted content to the second user device via a network coupled to the at least one network interface device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a content delivery system comprising one or more computer processors, a request to send first content of accessible content from a first user device to a second user device, wherein user selection of a selectable content control provided in association with the presentation of the accessible content causes a first portion of the accessible content to be designated as first content, and a second portion of the accessible content to be designated as second content, and wherein the request comprises an identification of the first content and the second content;
- determining a first annotation associated with the first portion, wherein the first annotation was received at the first user device;
- removing the second portion from the accessible content and adding the first annotation to the accessible content to generate converted content;
- determining a device characteristic of the second user device;
- determining a format for the first content based at least in part on the device characteristic;
- and
- providing, by the content delivery system and responsive at least in part to receiving the request, the converted content formatted in the format.

One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device with a first display size, a first user selection indicating a first designation of a first portion of accessible content to be first content;
- receiving, from the first user device, a second user selection indicating a second designation of a second portion of accessible content to be second content;
- receiving, from the first user device, a request to send the first content to a reader device with a second display size that is smaller than the first display size;
- generating converted content responsive to receiving the request, wherein the converted content is generated at least in part by removing the second content from the accessible content;
- determining a format for the converted content based at least in part on the reader device;
- reformatting the converted content to correspond to the format;
- and
- distributing at least a portion of the converted content to the reader device.
