I read online fiction, so while the pages aren't large (text only, usually), there are normally alot - one 'book' i read on fanfiction.net was over 800,000 words (roughly, what, 4000 pages?). This involves not only alot of scrolling (pageflipping?), but clicking "next chapter" links.
Provide a link to an on-line fiction title and I'll make some screenshots on the Kindle. The web browser is typically ok for simple content. If a site works using a basic cell phone browser, then it will definitely work on the Kindle. However, even on the Kindle it may be best to download the entire ebook and read it off-line (as you will need to do on the Cybook).
