I tend to agree with the OP. I don't have a Kindle, but I do have an iPad with the Kindle app loaded onto it. In comparing the reading experience between the Kindle and Safari, I like the scrolling action of the web browser better. When I read on the browser, I generally keep my eyes focused on the same point of the page. Instead of scanning across and down, I scan across and then flick the page up so that the next lines come level to my field of focus. On the Kindle, I scan across and down, turn the page, then reset back to the top, almost like a typewriter. (However, I have to admit that I'm not sure if I read web pages on my laptop the same way as I do on iPad or on my Kindle app.) On "pageless" devices such as what we have now, it makes sense to get rid of the old standards that were actually limitations enforced by the old medium.
