The main concept in KIM is the definition of page backdrops that are anchored to particular text in the book. When that text is shown the backdrop is activated.

These backdrops can contain images, video and solid color. Special markup allows these to be rendered to the edges of the screen and also allows the header (book title) and footer (progress) overlays to be selectively disabled.
Thanks for the explication and the new word (backdrop). Those were the pages that dazzled me. I hadn't noticed the missing header & footer, but now that you say it, I recall that they were indeed missing.

Now that the subject comes up again, I realize that I've not gone back to the book and probably won't. That happens rather often with ebooks, compared to the print editions, which are harder to ignore.
