It sounds like you've never actually read from a scroll.

Actually, a scroll has pages (unless it is very short)--the sheets are sewn together to make a roll, but you read them one column at a time. When the next column is not visible, you unroll the scroll a bit more (and roll up the scroll to cover part of what was already read).

See, for example, this image of a scroll open for reading:

(I would include the image, but I know Mobileread has size restrictions that I don't know how to deal with.)
