What form of book do you prefer to read? One with pages or a scroll which leave confused at all time on what part of the thing you are on or have read?

In fact I do prefer to read books as a large seamless HTML file rather than a paginated PDF file that has cuts (new pages) at arbitrary positions.

Now, of course the ideal way to read a book is probably a navigation/outline sidebar on the left, and then the content of the current chapter in the main pane.

Kind of like the Rust book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

so you have no problem with a scrollbar that jump to the next chaper when you shift it by a couple of pixels then?

Of course why would you have a problem with that, the only navigation one should perform while reading is change chaper, who wants to go to abitrary paragraphs.
