Kindle does this out of necessity (no touch gestures) and it works reasonably well, given the hardware limitations.

That's a good point, though mobile sites are probably still preferable to limit the scrolling to one direction. What I like about the paginating idea is the possibility of carrying over the tap-to-turn gesture. When I run across an online article of any length that I'd like to read, I'll often pick up my Nook Color, go there in the DolphinHD browser, zoom to a comfortable font size and reflow the text for a more comfortable read. Even on the NC though, which scrolls fluidly enough, I'd love to have that one-tap page turn (or page down) in the browser.
