I hope not, because slow, meaningless animation makes me tired and something inside me wants escape that page. Also it affects scrolling, especially noticeable when I am scanning a text instead of reading - you might lose context (note how the presentation reacts on pressing "page-up" / "page-down"). Kindle and all e-reader hates animations[0][1] - any animations (they are just huge black holes for battery). IMHO any documentation SHOULD be able to printed out on paper and sorry - paper is not interactive.
However, I will warmly welcome some interaction in dedicated docs section but it would be great if it could be duplicated as a rich-text article.
