It's worse than that. At least with the book you get to turn the page. This is more like having a book, and knowing there's other pages, but you can never get to the bottom of the page you're on.
It's like a springloaded scroll that spools out of an opaque cylinder case like some sort of measuring tape. One mis-step and you have to spend minutes slowly pulling it back out again.
Meanwhile all the stuff you have already read is sitting around in a big mess, doing nothing but taking up space and getting in the way.
