Abstract
Features are disclosed for facilitating content consumption among various formats or representations of a content item. An electronic device may be used to maintain a current content position when consuming a physical printed representation of a content item, either alone or in conjunction with an electronic representation of the content item. The electronic device may be used to retrieve, from a network-accessible server, a user'"'"'s last position within the content item. The user may then turn to the location within the physical printed representation that corresponds to the last position within the electronic representation. Highlights, comments and other content interactions may be maintained by the electronic device and stored at the network accessible server. From there, content interaction data may be subsequently obtained by the user when resuming content consumption, either from the same device or a different device.

33. A device comprising:
-
a data store configured to store computer-executable instructions; and one or more processors in communication with the data store, the one or more processors configured by the computer-executable instructions to at least; receive a request for data regarding a location within a physical version of a book from which to resume reading; obtain a machine-readable representation of information associated with the physical version of the book; determine, using the information associated with the physical version of the book, a book identifier of the physical version of the book; transmit the book identifier to a computing system separate from the device; receive, from the computing system, the data regarding the location within the physical version of the book from which to resume reading, wherein the location within the physical version of the book from which to resume reading corresponds to a previously-reached location in an electronic version of the book; and cause presentation of the data. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37)

46. A non-transitory computer storage medium which stores a computer-executable module that configures one or more processors to at least:
-
transmit a content identifier to a computing system, wherein the content identifier identifies a physical version of a content item; receive, from the computing system, data regarding a location within the physical version of the content item from which to resume reading, wherein the location within the physical version of the content item corresponds to a previously-reached location in an electronic version of the content item, and wherein the previously-reached location in the electronic version of the content item is identified by the computing system using at least the content identifier; and cause presentation of the data regarding the location within the physical version of the content item. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
