I've just heard a lecture on the carolingian renaissance in which it is explained that somewhere in the early middle ages the scroll format was completely abandoned in favor of others forms (pages).
however, virtually all web pages reverts back to scrolling. If I were a web designer at the early days of the web, I would think that a page-by-page approach is a more natural format.
Why did scrolling win in the end?(http://itunes.apple.com/il/itunes-u/20.-early-middle-ages-284/id515946405?i=112575720)
