A book can be much longer than a scroll and still be comfortably read.

None of these things would seem to apply to ebooks.
Actually, since apparently scrolls have pages too, my comparison makes less sense than I initially thought... while my questioning of the presumed discarding of the page paradigm probably makes even more sense... pages having been seen useful and/or necessary even before scrolls became books.
