For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, a function that allows users to view and subscribe to e-books using communication devices such as smartphones and tablets is already known. Patent No. 6656032 This is a block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of an e-book system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the server device shown.Figure 1 shows an example of a smartphone hardware configuration as a communication terminal device.Figure 1 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the functional means of the server device.Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the functional means of the communication terminal device.This flowchart shows an example of the process when one user and another user view an ebook together in the first embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of a list screen for an ebook that recruits friend users to view together with one user, according to the first embodiment of the present invention.This figure schematically shows an example of a state in which an e-book is being viewed together in the first embodiment of the present invention.This is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the functional means of a server device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.This flowchart shows an example of a process in which one user lends an ebook to another user in a second embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of a list screen of other users' friends in a second embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of a list of ebooks that can be lent to friend users in a second embodiment of the present invention.This is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the functional means of a server device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of a My Page screen displaying a user's in-app currency, points, and title level in a third embodiment of the present invention.This flowchart shows an example of a process for granting a reward in a third embodiment of the present invention. The following describes several embodiments of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings. To facilitate understanding of the description, the same reference numerals are used for identical components and steps in each drawing whenever possible, and redundant explanations are omitted. ===First Embodiment=== First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. ≪Overall Structure≫ Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the e-book system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the e-book system 1 comprises a server device 2, a first communication terminal device 3, and a second communication terminal device 4. In this first embodiment of the present invention, the communication terminal devices are described as two devices, the first communication terminal device 3 and the second communication terminal device 4; however, there may be any number of communication terminal devices. The server device 2, the first communication terminal device 3, and the second communication terminal device 4 in Figure 1 are interconnected and able to communicate with each other via a communication network NT, such as an intranet, the internet, or a telephone line. Server device 2 is an information processing device that provides the results obtained from executing the e-book program 2A, or a part of the e-book program 2A, to users of each communication terminal device 3 and 4 via the communication network NT. Each communication terminal device 3 and 4 is an information processing device owned by each user. After a portion of the e-book program 2A received from the server device 2 is installed, it executes this program to provide each user with e-books and related information. These communication terminal devices 3 and 4 can include various devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. The e-book program 2A allows users to view one or more e-books stored on the server device 2, selected by the user, under their account (hereinafter referred to as the "user account"). Hardware Configuration Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of server device 2. As shown in Figure 2, the server device 2 comprises a control device 5, a communication device 6, and a storage device 7. The control device 5 mainly consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 5A and memory 5B. In the control device 5, the CPU 5A executes a predetermined program stored in the memory 5B or storage device 7, thereby functioning as various functional means. Details of these functional means will be described l
