I haven't asked for this ability before because of the refresh problems with e-ink. However, from your description of the epson controller, I wonder if it will be possible with the new faster controller?

The palm actually scrolls with a line at a time disappearing off the top and a new one being added to the bottom of the text. If the new controller still can not handle this, how about a half of a page at a time?

Just a thought for a wish list.

I believe the Kindle has an auto-turn feature that automatically goes to the next page after a specified interval. Even this implementation would be a great feature for scenarios such as emellaich has described here.
