It's been a long time) if it was getting ahead or behind where you were. I could read significantly faster with this feature as it helped me pace myself.
It took me a while to get accustomed to the "page" based approach of Kindles and other e-ink readers (even though it's closer to paper) and I still miss auto scroll many years later.

You've just told my story. I was a PalmOS user since 1999. My ereader of choice was eReader. Prior to that it it was called Peanut Press. Auto scroll is the one thing I truly miss from my Palm days. I still can't believe ereading apps don't have that feature today. eReader could do it in 1999. I used to lay in bed and never had to touch my PDA. It was great because I have brittle bones so sometimes I would have a broken arm, sometimes both arms at the same time, and it was nice to still be able to read without having to hold my device. With Marvin at least there's the option to switch the page forward tap to the left side of the screen if my right arm is broken. I really appreciate that, Kris!
