Abstract
An e-book reader aids in the translation and display of a query. The translation is done by an external website. Another use is for a website to make a customised electronic tourist guide downloadable to the reader, based on an itinerary provided by the user. Also, a reader and cellphone can be interlinked, so photos taken by the latter can be viewed and stored on the reader. Audio conversations and data from sensors associated with the cellphone can also be stored on the reader. The reader'"'"'s keyboard might be used as the cellphone'"'"'s keyboard. A reader can extend the scope of using mobile tags and virtual tags for locations where Internet access is lacking.
