11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a touch-based user input configured to receive an initial user-initiated gesture conveying a direction of a first attempt to navigationally advance a multi-part content item; a processor configured to recognize the conveyed direction of the user-initiated gesture, determine a content navigation direction based on the conveyed direction, and establish the content navigation direction as the navigation direction of the multi-part content item; and a display for presenting a current part of the multi-part content item. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. Computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon which are executable by a processor for performing functions comprising:
-
providing a user interface having an orientation corresponding to a language of an operating system executable by the processor; presenting multi-page content having an orientation different from the orientation of the user interface; identifying an initial touch gesture indicative of a direction for navigating forward in the multi-page content; establishing a navigation direction for the multi-page content based on the direction indicated by the initial touch gesture; moving forward in the multi-page content in response to subsequent touch gestures in the same direction as the initial touch gesture; and moving backward in the multi-page content in response to subsequent touch gestures in a direction different from the initial touch gesture. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
