I view pagination as a limitation of books, not as a feature. I can read something much faster by scrolling (although I greatly prefer reading on paper). It also makes it so that if part of the "page" is obscured, that's ok, because you can just scroll around it. You may be sitting comfortably at an angle that makes it difficult to see the bottom of the screen, but with scrolling this is no problem. I'd much rather read near the top of my screen than the bottom. I put insane amounts of bottom padding on all local HTML pages I create for documentation for precisely this reason. I'd be interested to see a book on a spool so you could scroll it. It might be found to be more enjoyable. I think the ideal reading environment would be an infinite vertical space with a minimap (see Sublime Text) rather than a scrollbar. It gives you a great sense of where you are in the document and it's a much more reasonably-sized click target.
