This is definitely one of the cleaner implementations I've seen of this idea, but why not allow for traditional (vertical) scrolling? The swipe method is unnatural on a laptop browser.
Not only that. It's pretty much impossible to see where you are in the text. If one is going to get rid of scrolling, it should be replaced by something better. I just find this to be unusable.
Am I alone in this, or are there actual arguments why paging is better than scrolling?
Page information on the bottom may help? Good point. Paging has its pros and cons. One feature that is not obvious is to bookmark or share the URL that has the location within the content. (Though anchor may do the similar thing).
The URL has all the location information if that is of any value. Thanks.
