It is easier and more relaxing to scan a surface of information than flip through a stack, so information is laid out in a rigid two-dimensional grid.

How Reading Made Us Modern - a Professor explains
My former tutor Professor John Mullan presents this wonderful and enlightening programme 'How Reading Made Us Modern' on BBC 4.
It made me want to re-read Pamela in the coffee shop in the British Library with King George III's collection towering above me.
Incidentally, one of the treasures in the BL is the Lindisfarne Gospels (late 7th/early 8th Century) - the oldest surviving translation of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into the English language.
