Zusammenfassung:Features are disclosed for facilitating content consumption among various formats or representations of a content item. An electronic device may be used to maintain a current content position when consuming a physical printed representation of a content item, either alone or in conjunction with an electronic representation of the content item. The electronic device may be used to retrieve, from a network-accessible server, a user's last position within the content item. The user may then turn to the location within the physical printed representation that corresponds to the last position within the electronic representation. Highlights, comments and other content interactions may be maintained by the electronic device and stored at the network accessible server. From there, content interaction data may be subsequently obtained by the user when resuming content consumption, either from the same device or a different device.
