First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media maintaining instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, over a network, from a first device, hidden content information including location information identifying at least a location, in a content item, of a portion of content to be hidden during presentation of the content item;
determining a user account associated with the first device;
determining a second device associated with the user account, the second device maintaining an instance of the content item; and
sending the hidden content information to the second device based at least in part on determining that the second device is associated with the user account, the hidden content information including at least the location information identifying the portion of content to be hidden when the second device is used to access the instance of the content item.

Abstract
In some implementations, content of a content item may be presented on an electronic device and a portion of the content item may be selected to be hidden from presentation. The electronic device may hide the selected portion of the content during presentation of the content. Further, selection information identifying at least the location of the selected portion of the content item may be communicated over a network to a computing device to enable synchronization of the hidden content with other instances of the content item on other devices of the user. In some examples, the user may select one or more chapters of the content item to be hidden by selecting one or more chapter identifiers in a table of contents of the content item. Hidden content may include text, images, audio and/or video content, depending on the type of content item that is accessed.

27. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more computer-readable media; and one or more modules maintained on the one or more computer-readable media to be executed by the one or more processors to perform operations including; receiving, from a computing device, a content item having a portion of content in a first version compatible with a first content item file format and in a second version compatible with a second content item file format, wherein; the first version and the second version of the portion of content are encoded to cause a first device, able to display the first content item file format, but not the second content item file format, to not display the second version of the portion of content when displaying content of the content item; and the first version and the second version of the portion of content are encoded to cause a second device, able to display both the first content item file format and the second content item file format, to not display the first version of the portion of content when displaying the content of the content item; and making the content item available for delivery to at least one of the first device or the second device. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
