1. A method of presenting information, the method comprising:
- presenting, within an electronic book reader application on an electronic device, a representation of an electronic book that includes an electronic representation of a paper page;
enabling an interaction with the electronic representation of the paper page through a touch-sensitive control mechanism associated with the electronic device to navigate through the electronic book, wherein the electronic representation of the paper page includes a scrubbing bar displaying a page indicator that provides information indicating the electronic representation of the paper page currently presented;
detecting a first input provided through the touch-sensitive control mechanism selecting the displayed page indicator, the first input pressing and maintaining contact with the touch-sensitive control mechanism;
in response to the first input, replacing the page indicator with increment indicators displayed along a horizontal axis in the scrubbing bar, the increment indicators corresponding to different sections of the electronic book;
detecting a second input selecting a portion of the displayed increment indicators; and
in response to the second input, presenting an electronic representation of a second paper page that corresponds to the selected portion of the displayed increment indicators.

10. A system, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; present, within an electronic book reader application on an electronic device, a representation of an electronic book that includes an electronic representation of a paper page; enable an interaction with the electronic representation of the paper page through a touch-sensitive control mechanism associated with the electronic device to navigate through the electronic book, wherein the electronic representation of the paper page includes a scrubbing bar displaying a page indicator that provides information indicating the electronic representation of the paper page currently presented; detect a first input provided through the touch-sensitive control mechanism selecting the displayed page indicator, the first input pressing and maintaining contact with the touch-sensitive control mechanism; in response to the first input, replacing the page indicator with increment indicators displayed along a horizontal axis in the scrubbing bar, the increment indicators corresponding to different sections of the electronic book; detect a second input selecting a portion of the displayed increment indicators; and in response to the second input, present an electronic representation of a second paper page that corresponds to the selected portion of the displayed increment indicators. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed on at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
-
present, within an electronic book reader application on an electronic device, a representation of an electronic book that includes an electronic representation of a paper page; enable an interaction with the electronic representation of the paper page through a touch-sensitive control mechanism associated with the electronic device to navigate through the electronic book, wherein the electronic representation of the paper page includes a scrubbing bar displaying a page indicator that provides information indicating the electronic representation of the paper page currently presented; detect a first input provided through the touch-sensitive control mechanism selecting the displayed page indicator, the first input pressing and maintaining contact with the touch-sensitive control mechanism; in response to the first input, replacing the page indicator with increment indicators displayed along a horizontal axis in the scrubbing bar, the increment indicators corresponding to different sections of the electronic book; detect a second input selecting a portion of the displayed increment indicators; and in response to the second input, present an electronic representation of a second paper page that corresponds to the selected portion of the displayed increment indicators. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
