Depending on the reading device, keeping up with flipping around is just as easy if not faster on eBooks -- eBooks have a SEARCH function. God, what I would have given for that in college....... *wistful*

Are you reviewing non-fiction books? Doing a review of an ebook for, say, one of my history classes... requires a lot of flipping it around to find the parts I'm looking for for my citations, quotations, etc.
And say you're sitting in class, and trying to find something that argues a certain point or backs up an argument you want to make. Flipping around in a pbook is a lot faster. I can rapidly skim / flip through it and find probably the content / chapter / whatever I'm looking for. Not as easy with an ebook.
It's a mixed bag. The search function can be really useful if you know exactly what you are searching for. But it's a LOT harder to rapidly flip through the book and find what you are looking for.
