One of the things that REALLY bothers me about everything going digital is the UNintuitive was reading on a computer is! Aside from the difficulty of screen glare and small text that cannot be resized is that lack of the ability to flip to any page at any time to make reference to some thought one may have while reading.
When I read I often have ideas pop into my head about related topics that may also be included in the book but, doing a search to find it is painstaking, if one has the ability to do so. And, what happens if one is doing research and needs several books that need to be searched in that similar manner? Gawd, impossible!
When is a device going to be invented or designed that will allow for such a reading style or technique?!?
