It would be a lot less confusing if the text from the previous page dissapeared...or if that line that follows you worked not with pages but as a scroll.... The line is the interesting feature.
There 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…
There is some fundamental truth here though. I'm not in college you see. Even though I went for three years and was doing perfectly fine GPA wise, and was on track to a "dream career" with the admiration of everybody…
