Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for enabling a user to selectively make one or more highlights in a currently displayed document on a mobile, handheld, eBook reader, or similar device are disclosed. The user-generated highlights are persistent over user-initiated cursor control activities as well as persistent over reading sessions. Furthermore, the highlighting functionality can be invoked without downloading and installing any custom software components, and without explicitly generating a user account.
