I am crazy and I do end up reading the sorts of books where those types of activities are necessary on my e-reading devices and I almost always end up looking at myself in the mirror and wondering, "What is wrong with you?! Buy these in print you idiot!"

Actually I just read a memoir by a US Marine in the Pacific Theater of WWII which made use of end notes. The notes were hyperlinked and it was extremely easy to go back and forth between where I was reading and the end note I wanted to look at. I wish I had had something like this in college while majoring in History, it would have made my research
MUCH easier.
