"There is something about continuous scrolling that makes it harder for me to remember the text that I'm reading."
Yes! I've tried both now, and I vastly prefer a page-turning interface over continuous scrolling. I can't really explain why, though. Is it just because I'm old?
- dragontamer 13y agohttp://www.magicscroll.net/ScrollTheWeb.html http://www.magicscroll.net/ScrollTheWeb.html Classic UI problem. Continuous Scrolling is extremely damaging to your concentration. The issue is that group think and shear momentum prevents us from thinking of better ways to scroll text on computer screens. Strangely, the eInk format has brought back "page turning" (based on paper designs), which partially solve the problem. What we all want is for the text to remain still while we're reading and scrolling.
