Newer Fire tablets also have Continuous Scrolling. I think Android app got this a few weeks ago as well (before it showed up on my Fire HD8).

So far, the implementation(s) lack any equivalent of Page View or even a basic scroller when reading options are displaying. And no support for Immersion Reading. I do like it because the paragraph structure is not disturbed by pagination (no ‘widows’ or ‘orphans’).

The iOS app (iPad in particular) suffers because there is no keyboard navigation implementation (such as using arrow keys to scroll, page up/down etc.). Android seems to support that sort of thing by default.
