The invention relates to an information processing apparatus and the method thereof, and an information processing system and the method thereof for allowing users to browse through and purchase electronic books with ease. Electronic book data are given a header which describes illustratively "<Shidokupage> 200 page </Shidokupage>" on, say, line 4 indicating that a browsable page count is 200; <"Shidoku 1 time> 15 min </Shidoku 1 time>" on line 5 signifying that a one-shot browsing time is 15 minutes; and "<Shidoku total time> 45 min </Shidoku total time> saying that a total browsing time for the electronic book is 45 minutes. The inventive setup controls a browsing display of a desired electronic book on the user's terminal based on such information about the browsable page count, one-shot browsing time, and total browsing time. <IMAGE> |
