Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a terminal, a server, an e-book synchronization system and an e-book synchronization method. Background technique [0002] At present, with the substantial improvement of network technology and digital technology, the emergence and rapid popularization of portable mobile devices (such as smart phones, tablet computers, etc.), digital reading has become a reading mode that "runs hand in hand" with traditional paper book reading. In addition to the distribution and sales of traditional physical paper books, more and more publishing houses, technology providers and even equipment manufacturers have joined the digital publishing industry to provide digital content distribution and reading services.

Problems solved by technology
