Abstract

A method performed by a computer system. The method includes storing a first version of a mass-produced printed paper, the first version having a first digital format. The method also includes replacing first content in the first version with second content, and translating the first version into a second version, the second version having a second digital format. The second version is displayable on a display device as a likeness of the paper.

Claims

1. A method performed by a computer system, comprising:

storing a first version of digital content, the first version including first displayable content at a particular location within the digital content; and

translating the first version into a second version of the digital content in a manner that adds second displayable content associated with the particular location within the digital content to the second version, the second version including the second displayable content in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content, and the second version being displayable on a display device as a likeness of the digital content with the second displayable content displayed in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the digital content is a digital book.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version, wherein the first displayable content is content of the book, and the second displayable content is an advertisement.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version, wherein the advertisement is selected based on the book.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version in a manner that associates the second displayable content with the first displayable content based on a user profile.

6. The method of claim 2 and comprising:

compressing the second version or encrypting the second version.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version, the first version having a first digital format, the second version having a second digital format and the first digital format and the second digital format are different from one another.

8. A system, comprising:

a computing device for;

storing a first version of digital content, the first version including first displayable content at a particular location within the digital content; and

translating the first version into a second version of the digital content in a manner that adds second displayable content associated with the particular location within the digital content to the second version, the second version including the second displayable content in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content, and the second version being displayable on a display device as a likeness of the digital content with the second displayable content displayed in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the digital content is a digital book.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version, wherein the first displayable content is content of the book, and the second displayable content is an advertisement.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the translating comprises:

translating the first version into the second version, wherein the advertisement is selected based on the book.

12. The system of claim 9 wherein the computing device is for:

translating the first version into the second version in a manner that associates the second displayable content with the first displayable content based on a user profile.

13. The system of claim 9 wherein the computing device is for:

compressing the second version or encrypting the second version.

14. The system of claim 9 wherein the first version has a first digital format, the second version has a second digital format and the first digital format and the second digital format are different from one another.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising:

a computer program processable by a computer system for causing the computer system to;

store a first version of digital content, the first version including first displayable content at a particular location within the digital content; and

translate the first version into a second version of the digital content in a manner that adds second displayable content associated with the particular location within the digital content to the second version, the second version including the second displayable content in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content, and the second version being displayable on a display device as a likeness of the digital content with the second displayable content displayed in association with the first displayable content at the particular location within the digital content.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the digital content is a digital book.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the first displayable content is content of the book, and the second displayable content is an advertisement.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 wherein the advertisement is selected based on the book.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 wherein the computer program is processable by the computer system for causing the computer system to:

translate the first version into the second version in a manner that associates the second displayable content with the first displayable content based on a user profile.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 wherein the computer program is processable by the computer system for causing the computer system to:

compress the second version or encrypt the second version.

21. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 wherein the first version has a first digital format, the second version has a second digital format and the first digital format and the second digital format are different from one another.
