Abstract

Information is presented to a user by accessing a library of electronic publications that includes a first publication, generating a representation of the first publication in an electronic bookshelf, determining a state for the first publication and modifying the representation of the first publication to reflect the state of the first publication.

First claim

1 . (canceled)

2 . A method, comprising:
at an electronic device in communication with a display:
displaying, via the display, a first electronic book user interface including one or more representations of a collection of one or more electronic books, wherein the first electronic book user interface includes a representation of a first electronic book at a first location in the first electronic book user interface;
after displaying the first electronic book user interface, including the representation of the first electronic book at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, determining a context of a user of the electronic device; and
in response to determining the context of the user, in accordance with a determination that the context of the user is a first context, updating the first electronic book user interface to include a representation of a second electronic book, different from the first electronic book, at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, wherein the second electronic book is associated with the first context of the user.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the context of the user corresponds to a location of the user received through a mapping application of the electronic device, and wherein the second electronic book is associated with the location of the user.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the location of the user corresponds to a geographic location.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the location of the user corresponds to a place of business.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
in accordance with a determination that the location of the user corresponds to the place of business, including the representation of the second electronic book at a prioritized location within the first electronic book user interface.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the prioritized location comprises a primary location of the first electronic book user interface.

8 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the location of the user corresponds to a current location of the user.

9 . The method of claim 3 , wherein in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device will visit a future location, the location of the user corresponds to the future location.

10 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
in response to determining the context of the user and in accordance with the determination that the context of the user is the first context, placing a bookmark in the second electronic book corresponding to a first portion of the second electronic book that is selected based on the context of the user.

11 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the context of the user corresponds to progress of the user through a respective book.

12 . The Method of claim 2 , wherein the second electronic book comprises a non-fictional publication.

13 . The Method of claim 2 , wherein the second electronic book comprises a travel publication.

14 . The Method of claim 2 , wherein the second electronic book comprises a fictional publication.

15 . The Method of claim 2 , wherein the context of the user corresponds to a geographic setting in a respective book that is being read by the user.

16 . The Method of claim 2 , further comprising in accordance with a determination that the context of the user changes from the first context of the user to a second context of the user, different than the first context of the user, updating the first electronic book user interface to include a representation of a third electronic book at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, wherein the third electronic book is associated with the second context of the user.

17 . An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors; memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display, a first electronic book user interface including one or more representations of a collection of one or more electronic books, wherein the first electronic book user interface includes a representation of a first electronic book at a first location in the first electronic book user interface;
after displaying the first electronic book user interface, including the representation of the first electronic book at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, determining a context of a user of the electronic device; and
in response to determining the context of the user, in accordance with a determination that the context of the user is a first context, updating the first electronic book user interface to include a representation of a second electronic book, different from the first electronic book, at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, wherein the second electronic book is associated with the first context of the user.

18 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform one or more operations including:
displaying, via the display, a first electronic book user interface including one or more representations of a collection of one or more electronic books, wherein the first electronic book user interface includes a representation of a first electronic book at a first location in the first electronic book user interface; after displaying the first electronic book user interface, including the representation of the first electronic book at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, determining a context of a user of the electronic device; and in response to determining the context of the user, in accordance with a determination that the context of the user is a first context, updating the first electronic book user interface to include a representation of a second electronic book, different from the first electronic book, at the first location in the first electronic book user interface, wherein the second electronic book is associated with the first context of the user.
