And, lest my earlier pointing out is missed by some:
Scrolls use pages:

A scroll is usually divided up into pages, which are sometimes separate sheets of papyrus or parchment glued together at the edges, or may be marked divisions of a continuous roll of writing material. The scroll is usually unrolled so that one page is exposed at a time, for writing or reading, with the remaining pages rolled up to the left and right of the visible page. It is unrolled from side to side, and the text is written in lines from the top to the bottom of the page.

It therefore seems a rather modern fancy that pages are somehow unnecessary, or downright negative.
