iSilo allows you to explictly include several "start" pages for a
document. In addition to the "forward/back" by clicking on links, there
is a separate functionality to "go to next page", to access the next
document in the collection.
For example, if you have a collection of text documents (say the chapters
in a book) you can include all of them into a single iSilo document
without having to create an overarching HTML page referencing them.
Also, iSilo implictly does a "go to next page" when you scroll past the
bottom of a page, which makes it nicer for ebook reading. iSilo's ability
to make huge chuncks of text look like one continuous stream is another
distinct advantage for this type of use, and it's the main reason I keep
it installed on my palm.
I don't think similar functionality exists in Plucker.
