Is it me or does this seem to be a classic case of

"This doesn't fit my exact needs so I declare it as useless for everybody."

For what it is worth I have a husband who is a Physicist with an extremely paper heavy, technical and detailed job. Over the past year he has slowly been switching to PDF/Djvu documents but not completely. He, like you, hasn't found the perfect solution - although I have to say paper isn't the perfect solution either. He travels with 3 to 4 briefcases at a time and it is often difficult for him to find the exact reference he needs. It isn't all that easy to search through 100lbs of paper pages either.

But even he will tell you it is much easier to carry the iPAD with a couple of his industry journals loaded on there for the 5 hour flight than stacks of books.
