You could do using the networking capabilities of the iLiad, if they work as promised. The cached book can be stored in a main computer nearby.

On the other hand, one should do the strategy I already tried in my librie bash script for reading of .DJVU files: the previous page was kept just in case, and the next one was calculated and cached while the user was reading the current one. In this way the only delay is the one from e-ink driving, but no CPU-originated delays.
