Abstract

Architectures and techniques are described to determine a reading level of an electronic book. In particular, words, phrases, clauses, and parts of speech of an electronic book may be tagged and used to determine the reading level of the electronic book. In some cases, the reading level of the electronic book is based on a level of complexity of sentences of the electronic book and a level of complexity of words of the electronic book.
