I'm not sure if this is really an improvement. With traditional scrolling, my eyes stay at about the same position while I scroll. With this scrolling, however, after I've finished reading the last line, I need to look up again. And when I scroll backwards, I need to constantly remind myself to look down after I've read the topmost line. Traditional scrolling doesn't brake the reading rhythm (at least in my case), but this one does.



I agree, it's easier to read when you can keep your eyes at approximately the same level.

Even when reading something on paper I'll find myself actually moving the book itself further away from me as I read down the page.

This design is also harder to skim, because you need to keep moving your eyes back up as you scroll.


It is in fact impossible to skim with this. You're very right.
