Animate page numbers in books, by converting them into a bouncing ball, flick book sequence. (note this is the second part of the earlier idea in the link)
Pulp fiction style detective novels could get a film noir style flickering neon, or smoking gun sequence incorporating the changing page numbers.
With the average book running to 250 pages, a ten second movie sequence could also be created by those dexterous to get the page edges to flick over at 24 frames per second.

[Psst, xenzag... make that two 5-second sequences. 250 pages only have 125 right or left sides on top of each other, no?] |

Is there still going to be a page number in that page number? How do you deal with the sudden jump from e.g. "7" to "8"? The digits would just be a flickering gray spot--? |
|

The devil in the details... but that makes it even better, because you can play (as you correctly suggest) a different sequence by turning the book face down, and feathering it from back to the front. |

The numbers would of course be mostly illegible at any kind of meaningful speed, so the main part of the idea is the animation. |
