Reading the weekly haftarah from parchment is considered a hiddur mitzvah, glorifying the mitzvah, preferable to reading it from printed text. Hence, various Ashkenazic congregations inscribed all the haftaros for the year on a parchment and read from it every Shabbos. These are the Sifrei Aftarta mentioned in Maseches Gittin 60a. (See Mishnah Berurah Ch. 284:1)
