As they make the interfaces more like phones/tablets then they need the sceen to update more often. Kindles used to page through the library, now they scroll, which means they need to update constantly as you move your finger. It's just a bad use of the technology.

On my Kindle paperwhite the library pages when I swipe up or down.

Not at all. When you get people saying a book series can be read out of order, they are usually wrong. And in this case, they are wrong.

Maybe the Discworld reading order would be worth its own thread?

I wouldn't make that generalization. From the conversations I've seen on this forum, the people arguing against a different order have read the series, so they are right in there opinion,and if you disagree them you are wrong.

And in this case, they are wrong.

In your opinion.
A definition of "lie"

an intentionally false statement

Again from what I've read on this forum, people gave valid reasons why DW could be read out of order. To call them lies seems like hubris. IMO.
