Customized summarization of media content

Abstract:

A media item, for example an electronic book (eBook), may be presented via an electronic device during a time period. A user of the electronic device may read a portion of the media item but end their reading session prior to finishing the entire media item. Data associated with a media item and consumption of the media item by the user may be gathered. When the media item is presented via the electronic device during a subsequent time period, a customized synopsis of the media item or a portion of the media item may be presented via the electronic device.
