The present invention relates to an electronic reader. More particularly,
the present invention relates to systems and methods for providing an
electronic reader having interactive and educational features. Generally,
the electronic reader allows a user to view text on a visually
perceptible output device (e.g., a screen) and to interact with the
electronic reader through a tactile input device (e.g., a mouse). The
user selects and, thereby, visually and/or audibly emphasizes words in
the text through the use of the tactile input device. In some cases, the
electronic reader records and reports the words that the user selects.
Additionally, in some cases, pages of text displayed on the visually
perceptible output device can be peeled back to reveal additional pages
of text.
