Mechanism for displaying paginated content on electronic display devices

A computing device comprising:

• a display;
• a wireless communication port configured to communicate with an external source to receive or access data corresponding to a portion of a data collection, the data collection being formatted to include a plurality of paginated items that are pre-arranged in a designated order, and wherein each paginated item in the data collection is independently presentable;
• a memory configured to store at least a portion of the data collection;
• processing resources coupled to the display, the wireless communication port and the memory, the processing resources including a first processor and a second processor, wherein the second processor is configured to control the wireless communication port, and wherein the first processor is configured to store, in the memory, the portion of the data collection using data received or accessed by the wireless communication port, the processing resources being configured to present one or more paginated items from the data collection on the display by retrieving the one or more paginated items from the memory and driving the display to present the one or more paginated items;
• and
• an analog sensor device coupled to the processing resources, the sensor device being configured to detect a physical input;
• wherein the processing resources are configured to (i) correlate any one of a magnitude or direction of the input with at least one of a next page input, a vertical scroll input, or a horizontal scroll input, and (ii) respond to at least the next page input by presenting at least a portion of another page from the data collection on the display in place of at least a portion of the presented one or more paginated items, in order to page transition.
