receiving a request to enter a page flip mode from a user;
determining a first page of an e-book displayed as a full page;
adjusting a size of said first page of said e-book such that said size is not said full page; and
displaying a second page of said e-book simultaneously with said first page of said e-book.
16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein said operations further include:
directing the electronic personal display to flip to a third page of said e-book, wherein said flip replaces said second page of said e-book with said third page of said e-book while simultaneously displaying said first page of said e-book.
17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein said operations further include:
receiving a request to make said second page of said e-book said full page;
