For Ebook readers: Do you use a page view or a continous stream to scroll through?

    I’ve never had a dedicated e-reader, so my answer is for my phone, but I have always preferred continuous scrolling. I scroll as I read and it let’s me keep my eyes in generally the same place. My wife reads on an iPad mini a lot and she prefers pages that she has to turn. So, maybe there is something to the form factor of the device playing a big role.

    i like continuous scroll on my phone but use page view on an ereader that doesn’t have as responsive of a display

    now for continuous scroll users do you wait until your eyes reach the bottom to scroll or do you just constantly nudge the page up to keep your eyes in the middle?

      Agreed, it depends on the screen type.

      do you wait until your eyes reach the button to scroll or do you just constantly nudge the page up to keep your eyes in the middle?

      Depends on the device. If it’s a phone I usually scroll as I read. If it’s a tablet I usually read to the bottom then scroll the whole page.

    I’ve always just done page view. Scrolling seemed a little strange until I came across Manhwa recently. Might have to try scrolling for reading ebooks sometime.
