Electronic text books? Get real! By the time I’ve finished a subject (as an undergrad student), I’ve thumbed backward and forth in them numerous times, and have hand-written notes all over the place.

Even if one could annotate such books digitally, I’d still go for the paper version and hand-writing. There’s something physical about working by hand that gets lost in digital translation.

Failing to remember one’s place in the book consistently is the ONLY reason that browsers are not ideal ebook readers - yet.
Oh yeah, and that they have to load the whole thing unless it’s formatted just right.
