ABSTRACT:
An electric device, such as an electronic book, retrieves information from a memory and displays the information. A matrix array of sensors associated with the display can be actuated by a user to designate particular portions of a displayed page. In response to the designations, flags are stored identifying the designated portions, and the appearance of the portions on the display is modified to visually highlight the portions. The page including the designation information can be immediately retrieved and displayed at a later time in response to a user instruction.
