A drop shadow under the scroll boundary would be a nice way to differentiate between what's on the "bottom" page and the new content on "top."

#32I sort of really like this.
I want a progress bar at the bottom, with filled and unfilled segments. (Or for that to be an option.) I'd like the 'transition ruler bar thing' to be bigger, maybe a 3 pixel feathering would be enough. And it'd be nice if I could have some customisation over speed. It was very fast, which is good, but I think I want some kind of acceleration style movement in there?
Somehow I got stuck at 99.99%, which is going to be frustrating for some people!
Anyway, it's neat.

#33I love this. Very smooth in Mac 10.7.5/Chrome 24.0.x. I'm sort of stunned that an annoyance with moving text has never occurred to me consciously.
Perhaps moving text is not an annoyance? I have never been annoyed by an annoyance that never occurs.

#34Honestly... this made things confusing without improving my reading ability. a lot of people actually like scrolling. So many people in fact, that they successfully pressured Apple to add scrolling as an alternative to pagination in iBooks. I'm one of the people who uses that. I'm trying to be polite, but my honest reaction to this interface was, "oh god, this is awful," when I tried to use the mouse to scroll the pa…
Do you hate it because its bad, or do you hate it because it's different?

#35So it's basically incremental paging with a lot more work.

#36A lot of negativity in the comments. I for one really like this. No loss of focus when scrolling and no flicker from clicking 'next page'. Great idea.

On the flip side I actually liked it. I'm a FF user, and in the instant it clicked my first thought was "damn, I need chrome."
Options aren't a bad thing. Android offers multiple keyboards for people who find one method of typing more efficient/comfortable than others. I don't see any downsides to it because everyone gets what they want without forcing anyone to conform to a model they don't like.

#38Needs bigger margin or indication of what the 'last' page was. When it's scrolling down my eyes want to read that line and immediately jump to the middle of the last page, as that is where the line is. Make the last page darker or something.
You also have no idea how long-winded an article is and if you need to tldr;
Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#39There is a bug where when I scroll to the next page, all the old text from the previous page still shows. (using latest firefox on OS X)
It would be nice to use this method with some texts I want to read...but definetley not all.
Can't scan.
Probably would be really good to read an academic paper I really want to grasp a second time.
Good experiment!
Edit: (Since it said it was Chrome only...tried it with Chrome, text from previous page still shows up...)

#40Yuk, but kudos for trying it out and I can imagine that you're not the only one who will like this.
