I sometimes read books using a window on a desktop, and you know
exactly what I mean!
Just because "scroll" seems like something which can't be used
abstractly in English doesn't mean that its analogue isn't in Klingon.
The {paq'batlh} is referred to as "scrolls", even though they were
only shown being read on a computer screen (AFAIK).
Here, for example, are some {tetlhmey} of a version of the {paq'batlh}
which are not printed on {Qumran}:
