Laws of Reading the Megillah
The Megillah is called the "Letter of Purim" (Megillas Esther 9:26). Therefore, it is customary for the Reader to fold the Megillah like a letter (that is one section on top of the other) before beginning to read from the scroll.
Those who follow along in a scroll during the Megillah reading do not have to do this.
