          Appeal No. 97-1223                                         Page 7           
          Application No. 08/147,143                                                  


          that a user can sample various topics included in the                       
          electronic book in any desired order.  (Id.)  In response, the              
          appellants argue that none of the references suggest                        
          displaying a menu button in a navigation dialog box together                
          with a bookmark button.  They urge that although Soviero                    
          teaches a menu button, nothing in the reference suggests that               
          actuating the button will display a page listing book                       
          destinations.  (Appeal Br. at 11.)                                          


               We find that the references would not have suggested the               
          steps of  displaying a navigation dialog box and displaying a               
          menu page of claim 1.  The claim recites in pertinent part the              
          steps of  “displaying a navigation dialog box ... having at                 
          least a bookmark button and a return to menu button; ...” and               
          “displaying a menu page in the electronic book when the return              
          to menu button is selected ..., the menu page listing one or                
          more destinations within the electronic book which can be                   
          reached by selecting a corresponding destination from the menu              
          page.”  (Appeal Br. at 16.)
