I think both are valuable assets, though I prefer pages. I like the idea of page-based format with the option of continuous scrolling, with demarcation for page boundaries. When a button or whatever is pushed to return to "page view", it will snap back into place. This would be handy for a touchscreen device that allows you to pan the document. As long as the screen can support it, which e-ink doesn't so far (too slow).

Or maybe, via the magic of tagged PDFs, the optional removal of visually jarring page boundaries while scrolling (having them instead be indicate by something more discreet than a huge gap between what may well be lines of a single paragraph).
