That isn't my idea of an ideal ebook at all.
I don't want to replicate the paper experience, I want to have a good ebook experience.
I can't change the font size of a paper book if I have good or bad eyesight. I can't make a paper book suddenly appear in white on black so it is more comfortable to read at night. I can't click in a word in a paper book and get a definition or look it up in wikipedia.
Should my mp3 player make me press a button half way through an album before it continues playing, to give me the same sort of experience as having to change sides on an LP?
