Abstract
A method and system for transitioning operation between display screens of a computing device, with a user interface. The device further includes primary and secondary touch screen displays, an ambient lighting brightness sensor, a memory storing instructions and an e-book having content displayable according to a series of digitally constructed pages. The method comprises receiving, at a screen transition interface presented on one of the primary display screen and the secondary display screen, selections of an upper and a lower brightness threshold limits of ambient lighting, sensing a brightness level of ambient lighting, activating the secondary display screen for operation only if one of: (i) the ambient lighting brightness level exceeds the upper threshold limit and (ii) the ambient lighting brightness level is less than the lower threshold limit, and transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the pages of e-book content thereon.
