And I think you should "bore" us with the list of apps that you have tried and eliminated. That will probably stop some suggestions for those exact apps as we will know the scrolling doesn't meet your requirements.

Cor blimey, I would never have expected such vitriol on an e-book forum! Especially from such an innocent question! Trolls have obviously moved on from their usual under-the-bridge habitats...
When you read an article on the web, what happens when you roll your mouse wheel towards you? It
scrolls the text down smoothly and you can do it as quickly or as slowly as you like according to how quickly you are able to read it, no? This is called "
scrolling". It's quite a common concept in the modern world.
Verb (used with object)
8.
Computers. to move (text) up, down, or across a display screen, with new text appearing on the screen as old text disappears.
I explained quite clearly that the KyBook scrolling merely flipped to the next page rather than
scrolling and thought that may have, perhaps, made it clear that I was looking for an app that
scrolled rather than one that merely flipped to the next page. You know, just like websites do!
I apologise for not wanting to bore people with the list of apps I tried. However, I felt, after having documented my experiences with three of the apps I tried and, having made it quite clear to your average human being that I was looking for an app that
scrolled, rather than just doing a vertical version of the usual page-turning gesture, continuing would be pointless since I had already made it clear what I was asking.
Do you know of any websites that don't scroll in this way?
