I can see this as a really useful tool to return reading ability to elderly folks who might have difficulty adjusting to the style of e-readers. The book shape would be a familiar one to them. It becomes their own large-print book.
Following some advice from parkher I suggested to a vision impaired friend to try landscape mode. This gave him about 6-8 words per line instead of 2-4. The reading continuity was much better for him. And he said it was slightly less page turns.
