[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6285441, member: 8835"] Actually, where exactly do you think I disclosed my idea in my post :) I didn't. I said it gives me an idea. And then I described how real books work and Umbran confirmed my understanding of how real books work (with regards to jumping to a section you know where it is in the book). What I didn't do is describe my idea or how to do a similar effect in an eBook. Not that my idea perfectly simulates how real books work either, but I have devised a means to get to the section you want in a manner better and different than what is currently offered in eBook products. Now the conundrum I actually have is that I am not really in a position to leverage my idea. In general, one needs a eBook reading product that one owns the code to, to make the improvement and then release to market. I doubt my idea is world changing or perfect, but it is an interesting solution to the problem of jumping to the page you want in a book when you kind of know roughly where it is. I'm actually more inclined to "give it away" so all eBooks could implemented it if it was a good idea. [/QUOTE]
