<b>1. Proposed Interactions</b><br>
<b>1. How to Access Reader Mode from the Browser?</b><br>
<b>Problem:</b> The new browser design is heading towards a chromeless / buttonless aesthetic, how do we introduce the reader mode?<br>
<b>Solution:</b> The reader mode you can hidden the the menu invoked by pressing the hardware/software menu button or with an icon which appears in the URL bar. See examples:<br>

<b>3. The Toolbar</b><br>
We would want to inflate the following elements.<br>
<b>Problem:</b> How do we access / display the various options without intruding on the reading experience<br>
Title (the header of the article): 6pt<br>
<b>Solution:</b> On tapping of the screen a translucent tool bar appears, further options can be invoked by pressing the menu icon in the bar, or the hardware menu key. Examples:<br>
Content (body text of the article): 8pt<br>

Caption (label underneath pictures): 4pt<br><br>

<i>These sections will be difficult to isolate as they are not universally identified within HTML, so special rules need to be created around tags such as <nowiki><p> and <div></nowiki> containing heavy text. These rules would apply to most news paper websites view in desktop/"full" mode such as nytimes.com or thestar.com or most blogs.

<b>2. Ability to modify the optimal text size for reading within the browser options</b><br>
<b>Problem:</b> 8pt font size for the reading content is a great compromise in size for most users. However our older audience with vision loss will find it too smaller and our younger audience will likely find it too large.
<b>Solution:</b> We should allow the user to specify the reading font size within the browser’s options.
See an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrykdesign/6427428933/in/set-72157628209207387 example of the proposed of the option controls on Google Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.X], the controls are designed to be compatible with the interaction paradigm of Android 2.2/2.3 to not alienate users of the older OS version.
The user will be able able to specify any font size between 6pt and 14pt. We would want to maintain the following ratios for content vs title vs captions:
User Defined Size &rarr; Content = 100% &rarr; Title = ~75% &rarr; Caption = 50%<br>
<tt>
6pt &rarr; Content = 6pt &rarr; Title = 5pt &rarr; Caption = 3pt<br>
7pt &rarr; Content = 7pt &rarr; Title = 5pt &rarr; Caption = 3pt<br>
8pt &rarr; Content = 8pt &rarr; Title = 6pt &rarr; Caption = 4pt<br>
9pt &rarr; Content = 9pt &rarr; Title = 6pt &rarr; Caption = 4pt<br>
10pt &rarr; Content = 10pt &rarr; Title = 7pt &rarr; Caption = 5pt<br>
11pt &rarr; Content = 11pt &rarr; Title = 7pt &rarr; Caption = 5pt<br>
12pt &rarr; Content = 12pt &rarr; Title = 8pt &rarr; Caption = 6pt<br>
13pt &rarr; Content = 13pt &rarr; Title = 8pt &rarr; Caption = 6pt<br>
14pt &rarr; Content = 14pt &rarr; Title = 9pt &rarr; Caption = 7pt<br>
</tt>
