Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for progressively providing content of an electronic book (e-book) to members of a book reading group. An example method includes: determining a reading group associated with content, the reading group comprising a first user profile associated with a first user device, a second user profile associated with a second user device, an indication that the first user profile is designated as a group administrator; determining a first stop-position indicative of a first position in the content; determining a second stop-position indicative of a second position in the content; and sending, to the first user device and the second user device, a message comprising at least the first stop-position, and instructions to enable access to a first section, wherein the first section comprises a portion of the content preceding the first stop-position.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to dynamically displaying related information based on a current location in content. Various types of content may include characters in a story, places, events, or other objects. Relationships associated with these objects may be determined, along with a location in the content at which the relationships exist. Such information may facilitate presentation of the relationships by a reader device based on a current location in the content displayed by the reader device.

Abstract: A processing device receives data associated with consumer interactions with an electronic work. The processing device determines, based on the received data, a plurality of aggregated consumption behaviors with regards to the electronic work. The processing device associates one or more of the plurality of aggregated consumption behaviors with portions of the electronic work in a data file. The processing device then provides the data file to a user device.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for progressively providing content of an electronic book (e-book) to members of a book reading group. An example method includes: determining a group associated with content, wherein determining the group comprises determining a first user profile and a second user profile, determining a first stop-read position comprising a first position in the content, sending, to a first user device associated with the first user profile, an indication of the first stop-read position, determining that the first user device has displayed at least a threshold amount of a first portion of the content, determining a second stop-read position comprising a second position in the content, and sending, to the first user device, an indication of the second stop-read position.
