When most the text is text, it's just fine. And that's most majors, really.. once you take out the hard sciences and mathematics, you're left with a lot that works just dandy academically.
But I found, aside from the search thing, my books for my senior capstone class worked just perfectly and kept me from dragging a dozen books around with me everywhere.

Well, I'm a history major, so luckily not too many formulas to worry about. But, this brings your comment back to the Sony reader. It might be back in the running.
