So far nearly all the comments seem to be about auto-scrolling, which wasn't what I was talking about. I don't care for auto-scrolling either.
I was referring to using a finger to move down the text as needed. I usually read a paragraph and then scroll. Sometimes 2 paragraphs if they're small. My eyes do the moving. Scrolling, the way I do it, happens a little bit more often than paging but not a lot more. It's not a continual thing at all.
I really am referring to LCD. I'm not completely convinced that scrolling can't work well on e-ink but I'm not sure it can either so it's not really what I'm talking about. In any case scrolling can't work on any current e-ink devices I'm aware of.
The reason for my doubts about e-ink being a problem is a video I watched linked to by one of the ereader sites about a year ago showing someone who had converted an e-ink reader, I think it was a Kobo, to be used as a monitor for some computer. I don't recall what computer. The video showed it playing games. I don't recall if they were 3D games but there was definitely action and it was smooth and sharp and seemed to work well. As I recall he wrote his own drivers for the e-ink and there was some kind of explanation for why they improved things so much. I don't recall what that explanation was. Does anyone else remember seeing that?
Anyway my post was really about LCD, not e-ink. Or really it was about scrolling, not screen technology.
