However - why do you think paging an article improves readability? What
it does do is control the amount of text you display on a page so you
can profitably surround it with advertising.

There's a fundamental problem with trying to slice text into
resizable web pages the same way it's sliced on paper. Paper pages
work because they're set in a fixed font size. When you change the
ratio of font size to column width, the places where lines of text
wrap changes. Because
