I'm having a difficult time imagining how the scrolling screen behavior of continuous mode on the computer would improve readability on an e-reader. I'm fairly sure I've got the wrong idea in my head, and I'd appreciate being set straight.
I only ask, because I can't figure out if I should feel irritated or apathetic about its exclusion from my device.

Think of all the pages of a book glued to one another in a long roll of paper, with the bottom of page 1 glued to the top of page 2, and so on.
Therefore, when you scroll down a page using a stylus, when the reach the bottom of the current page you can keep on scrolling down with the style - the top of the current page move off the top of the screen and the top of the next page progressively appears from the bottom of the screen.
The advantage, of course, is that you can be displaying the bottom part of one page and the top part of another page, which makes things much easier when reading a paragraph that spans those two pages.
