It's more trouble to flip a page than press a button? How big are the
books you read? ;-}
Actually, the big thing for me is the ability to find something in a
book. I (like most people?) do this by feel and by sight. What did the
page look like that I saw that on? How far into the book was it? I
suppose this isn't very important with novels, since you mostly read
them straight through. But with reference works, it's critical. And I've
probably got four times the reference works lying around that I do
fiction.
