No e-Ink reader is going to let you "scroll"; e-Ink readers use almost all their energy when changing the display, and it takes close to a half-second to do so. "Scrolling" would require almost continuously refreshing the screen.

If you just mean move to the top part of a page to the bottom part in one go, many might do that. (Including the Sony when in landscape mode.)

The Sony will let you switch to landscape mode and when doing so it'll cut the page in half if it's a portrait-shaped page and zoom to show that half as big as possible-- but there's no way to manually zoom in on an image or scanned PDF. If you're just doing this to get rid of the margins, you'd need to trim them before loading it onto the reader. It always keeps the same zoom when switching pages, as far as I know.

Perhaps some others would allow you to zoom. Not sure.
