Feel similarly about page boundaries, which are arbitrary. Not quite as far from the model as scrolling position, but far still. Something closer would be section or chapter titles, which are — if the author chose well — part of the ”model” and help anchoring to doc’s structure.

That’s why I appreciate excellent navigation as you designed for http://quantum.country . Also related to addressing: references with page numbers feel somewhat broken, as they bake in the layout into the addressing mechanism. Works as long as you stick to (simulated) paper.

One reason I read all non-books in Instapaper is because it gives me that per-page state stickiness, even across devices.
