A program of instructions storable on a medium readable by an electronic book for causing the electronic book to execute steps for the utilization of an electronic book, the steps comprising:

• generating a first graphical non-textual label capable of being utilized to indicate a relationship with a first element of an electronic book;
• generating a second graphical non-textual label capable of being utilized to indicate a relationship with at least one of the first element and a second element of an electronic book;
• and
• displaying in a screen separate from the first element and the second element of the electronic book the first graphical non-textual label and the second graphical non-textual label, wherein the first graphical non-textual label and second graphical non-textual label are capable of being utilized to access at least one of the first element from the first graphical non-textual label and at least one of the first element and the second element from the second graphical non-textual label.

An electronic book, comprising:

• a processor for executing a program of instructions on the electronic book;
• a memory coupled to the processor for storing the program of instructions executable by said processor;
• and
• an input and output system coupled to the processor for coupling the electronic book to a network wherein the program of instructions configures the electronic book to
• generate a first label capable of being utilized to indicate a relationship with a first element of an electronic book;
• generate a second label capable of being utilized to indicate a relationship with at least one of the first element and a second element of an electronic book;
• and
• display in a screen separate from the first element and the second element of the electronic book the first graphical non-textual label and the second graphical non-textual label, wherein the first label and second label are capable of being utilized to access at least one of the first element from the first label and at least one of the first element and the second element from the second label.
