Abstract

Digital content such as eBook may have several sections such as front matter, body matter, back matter, and so forth. To aid in the use of the content, it is worthwhile to find an end-of-body matter or other section breaks. As described herein, these sections may be determined by looking for keywords, specific formatting, manual intervention, last position read, and so forth. Once determined, tags may be generated which designate boundaries of these sections. These tags may then be used during consumption of the content.
