Most of the reference books I use are text and tables. Maybe one diagram in 200 pages. What I need for them is an index or a very detailed TOC. Most of my day-to-day reference books are supplied to me in Word format often with the tables also available in Excel. Great for cut and paste operations.
I seldom reread fiction -- I get bored too quick. Some books, like Ben Franklin's Autobiography, can be read again and again. These are very rare for me.
