I like this idea a lot, and I think it'd be compatible with the way eInk screens work today. Obviously you're not talking about any animation, but just having the top half/two thirds/whatever changing to the next page, while leaving the bottom half on the last page for a couple of seconds. It may not be to everyone's preference, particularly those who find the flashing of page switching distracting, since that'd be spread over at least twice as long for each page change.

I'd like this because I often turn the page, quickly realizing I hadn't been concentrating for the last few lines of the last page, then have to turn back to re-read. Maybe most people have better mental focus than I...
