Like it or not, when processed with essentially linear technology, it *will* be linearised (even if you put a table of contents at the top, for random access, that will be linearised). Given that, the choice is between *a* logical linearisation, and the mess you get if you read a typical newspaper layout from top to bottom within left to right (assumes western European page layouts). If you read a newspaper in the way that a typical web page linearises, you would end up switching between two or three articles. (Even PDF has had linearisation support for such layouts for a long time, although I've never seen it used in anger.)
