Microsoft manages to do this on PDAs with their LIT reader software, so it is doable on battery powered devices. Admittedly the reader only allows font size changes and not font face. The software does this paging in the background when you load the ebook. The only time you would notice it is if you loaded a very long ebook and immediately tried to jump to some page near the end before the pagination was finished.
