Revision history [back]

One use case for a 7'' tablet is the reading device. Use it for daily reading of news, web pages, books, office docs, comics, whatever.

Today's online documents have also hyper links so there is some mechanism needed to direct swap between different applications, documents and formats and back. Formats including all open ebook standards, like epub, mobi, unlike formats like djvu. A global history os meeded. For on-the-device documents and (optional) online stuff a good search mechanism is needed (together with the global history) to find stuff you read before but forgot where.

For me the power reading device would be:

• having a standardized reading experience for all sources including (text) web pages with some pure text reading mode
• a reading history for all sources
• a search engine for internal and external stuff with global history functionality
• a global note writing mechanism (with history ;-))
• multimedia support (for epub3 of linked video/audio whatever stuff)
• posibility to share information to others via xmpp or some social media or device-to-devie

(this must be privacy save implemented): some internal counter/tracker for history to see how long some document positions are read. They (Amazon?) do it in "the cloud" to customize future books - but it is usefull to find stuff again if you have your own private database.
