Ebooks and paper books do that without scrolling. It's a question of good formatting. You can't re-paginate a web site unless you set a paper size to suit a window and select Print Preview. You then rely on the content creator having used page break before, after and don't as well as widows and orphans properly. So in theory it's not hard to develop any existing desktop browser to have an optional Paginate to Window Size mode with user preferences for widows, orphan and page break vs heading levels. In fact many ebook apps and programs internally use a web rendering engine and the Kindle DXG had pagination of web pages, more sensible than the scrolling on newer eink based browsers.
