If you want to come up w/ a format which has no pages, well that's be plain text or an ``escroll''.
Which you will read on your liseuse.

It's more than a bit late to insist that "ebook" doesn't include reflow, esp. since Gutenberg got started with .txt files. Reflowable text for ebooks has been standard, although not universal, since ebooks were first being created & shared.

You might as well insist that if it doesn't have a cover, it's not an ebook, because paper books have covers.
