Not so much for text books, academic books, scholarly articles etc. where figures and tables need to display a certain way to make sense, be on the same page as the text that relates to them etc.

Ah, but in a scrolling environment, everything is on the same page! No more "I'm going to refer to a figure that is too big to fit next to the text that it goes with, so you have to keep flipping pages back and forth. Ha ha!"
I would prefer a scrolling environment (and a device fast enough to support it!) for all the reasons Elfwreck gave, and maybe more. Maybe with a shortcut function to display the next screen full, because that is a handy feature at times. Just like your browser does scrolling, but you can also use the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys. I read my web content without having to page, well mostly. And I want everything else the same way.
