  • Publication number: 20110177481
    Abstract: An electronic device switches between an electronic book reading mode and an audio book playback mode in a manner that is convenient and intuitive to the user. The electronic device stores an electronic work that contains a text version and an audio version of written material. The position in an active one of the text version or the audio version is matched against a corresponding position in the other one of the text version or the audio version. The user may indicate to the electronic device to switch modes. In that case, if the text version was active, playback of the audio version may commence from a point at which the user stopped reading the text version. Similarly, if the audio version was active, the text version may be displayed at the point where playback stopped.
