But imagine you've got a book with multiple references, placed as usual at the end of the book (as you find in all academic books, papers). Going back and forth from the paper to the references is quickly excruciating. You can always put a bookmark on the references, but how do you do when there are 30 pages of references to flip through?
My War and Peace ebook has a link for each footnote and a link at the footnote returning back to the text. It's really very basic HTML, and can easily be done with any e-document.

With internal links, search capabilities, a table of contents, the ability to go to any page, and user-created bookmarks/notations I don't see ebooks having any disadvantage compared to pbooks.
