This is true for some things, but I still much prefer a ToC or a textual search, index, etc. for the majority of cases.

I find myself much more frequently ctrl+f -ing my way to content than doing scroll-and-scan nowadays.

Text search with indicators for the search results in the scroll bar is awesome
