1. A digital reading device, comprising:
- a touch display;
a logic subsystem operatively coupled to the touch display; and
a data-holding subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to;
display a front side of a page on the touch display;
recognize a page-turning gesture directed to the page on the touch display; and
display a virtual page turn that actively follows the page-turning gesture, the virtual page turn curling a lifted portion of the page to progressively reveal a back side of the page while progressively revealing a front side of a subsequent page, the lifted portion of the page having an increased transparency that allows the back side of the page to be viewed through the front side of the page.

Abstract
One or more pages are displayed on a touch display. A page-turning gesture directed to a displayed page is recognized. Responsive to such recognition, a virtual page turn is displayed on the touch display. The virtual page turn actively follows the page-turning gesture. The virtual page turn curls a lifted portion of the page to progressively reveal a back side of the page while progressively revealing a front side of a subsequent page. A lifted portion of the page is given an increased transparency that allows the back side of the page to be viewed through the front side of the page. A page-flipping gesture quickly flips two or more pages.

10. A method of operating a computing device having a touch display with a first touch display region and a second touch display region, the method comprising:
-
displaying a back side of a first page on the first touch display region and a front side of a second page on the second touch display region; recognizing a page-turning gesture directed to an outer corner of the second page; and displaying, responsive to the page-turning gesture, a virtual page turn that actively follows the page-turning gesture, the virtual page turn curling a lifted portion of the second page to progressively reveal a back side of the second page while progressively revealing a front side of a third page and while progressively covering the back side of the first page, the lifted portion of the second page having an increased transparency that allows the back side of the second page to be viewed through the front side of the second page. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
