That's a truly fantastic idea actually. I'd love to see that built into e-readers.

As well as when I pick back up reading after two weeks -- remind me everything that's happened so far? Where it gives a five-paragraph summary where the first paragraph is top-level covering the entire story so far, and the last paragraph is just about the previous few pages.

Not to mention with non-fiction -- highlight an acronym that was defined somewhere 28 pages ago and tell me what the heck it is again?!

I love these ideas. One more: "He said xyz but we know he's lying. What would motivate him to do that?"
