Arlen,

I agree with you. As Eric already pointed out, there is no research backing
up the claim you have to chunk info in one screen pages. (Apart from the
problem that you don't know how much will exactly fit on one page; it
depends on resolution, font type and other browser settings by the user).

IMHO it all depends on:

1) purpose of your site (fun, business, info, transaction)
2) webexpertise of your target audience
3) type of page

A menu or index page of more than one page truly doesn't make sense. OTOH
nobody want to see a research report broken in chunks: you wouldn't be able
to print it in one go.

Nobody enjoys reading from screen: but chunking is definitely not the ONLY
solution.

Anyway, FWIW
