• determining a plurality of similar users based on a first owned book list information of a request user of the terminal,
• wherein a second owned book list information of the plurality of similar users includes at least one first book which is included in the first owned book list information of the request user;
• generating similar user introduction information based on the determined plurality of similar users,
• wherein the similar user introduction information indicates user information of the plurality of similar users having at least one second book different from one or more books owned by the request user;
• and
• transmitting the similar user introduction information to the terminal, wherein
• the terminal displays a similar user image based on the similar user introduction information,
• the similar user image includes the user information of the plurality of the similar users, and
• the terminal transmits a request for the at least one second book to an information processing server based on a user input;
• transmitting the at least one second book to the terminal based on the request transmitted by the terminal,
• wherein the terminal transmits at least one selected part from the at least one second book to the information processing server;
• receiving the at least one selected part transmitted by the terminal;
• receiving user selection information from the terminal, wherein the user selection information corresponds to selection of a similar user from the plurality of similar users included in the similar user image;
• generating book introduction information based on the user selection information;
• and
• transmitting the book introduction information to the terminal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving a request for a user introduction from a terminal;
• determining a plurality of similar users based on a first owned book list information of a request user of the terminal,
• wherein a second owned book list information of the plurality of similar users includes at least one first book which is included in the first owned book list information of the request user;
• generating similar user introduction information based on the determined plurality of similar users,
• wherein the similar user introduction information indicates user information of the plurality of similar users having at least one second book different from one or more books owned by the request user;
• and
• transmitting the similar user introduction information to the terminal, wherein
• the terminal displays a similar user image based on the similar user introduction information,
• the similar user image includes the user information of the plurality of the similar users, and
• the terminal transmits a request for the at least one second book to an information processing server based on a user input;
• transmitting the at least one second book to the terminal based on the request transmitted by the terminal,
• wherein the terminal transmits at least one selected part from the at least one second book to the information processing server;
• receiving the at least one selected part transmitted by the terminal;
• receiving user selection information from the terminal, wherein the user selection information corresponds to selection of a similar user from the plurality of similar users included in the similar user image;
• generating book introduction information based on the user selection information;
• and
• transmitting the book introduction information to the terminal.
