First Claim
1. A document display device, comprising a memory and arranged to store a document in the form of a sequence of pages;
- a display capable of displaying said document and arranged to provide a user view of pages from said sequence;
at least one user input device capable of receiving user inputs and of generating a signal based on said inputs;
a processor responsive to said signal and being arranged to respond to said signal by changing said user view of said sequence of pages and said processor being further arranged to associate at least one reference marker with a page by a predetermined first input to said at least one input device and further arranged such that a page associated with said reference marker can be at least partially displayed by a second predetermined input to the input device.

Abstract
A document display device, comprising a memory arranged to store a document in the form of a sequence of pages; a display arranged to provide a user view of pages from the sequence; at least one user input device; a processor responsive to the at least one user input device to change the user view of the sequence of pages wherein said processor is arranged to allow reference markers to be associated with a page by a predetermined first input to the input device and further arranged such that a page associated with said reference marker can be at least partially displayed by a further predetermined input to the input device. Such an arrangement allows a one or more pages to marked as a block of pages, and the device allows a user to refer back to the pages at either end of the block.

22. A document display device, comprising a memory arranged to store a document in the form of a sequence of pages;
- a display capable of displaying said document and arranged to provide a user view of pages from said sequence;
at least one user input device capable of receiving inputs and of generating a signal based on said user inputs containing co-ordinates associated with said user input to said at least one user input device, processing circuitry arranged to receive said signal and to detect a change in said co-ordinates, said processing circuitry being arranged to respond to said signal to change said user view of said sequence of pages and wherein said processing circuitry is arranged to associate reference markers with a page when a first input having substantially no change in said co-ordinates with respect to time is made to said at least one input device and further arranged such that a page associated with said reference marker can be at least partially displayed by a second predetermined input to the input device.
- a display capable of displaying said document and arranged to provide a user view of pages from said sequence;
