Reading Dean Koonz novels, with ONE heroine, ONE hero and ONE Villain, might satisfy those sceptics, who don't seem to need a SEARCHING function.
Decades long, serial novels might teach you a different story.

Odd, I read multiple books often with series that stretch over time and many books (check the number of books in the 1632 series for instance) and I find little use for searching functions. Do I really need a search function to tell me that in one book of the Flint/Drake Belisarius series a character is referred to as another character's daughter while in another book, she's referred to as a niece?
This insistence on being able to search/highlight/annotate/ghod alone knows what else reminds me of those clowns who step through videos one frame at a time searching for whatever turns their cranks instead of watching and enjoying the video in real time.
To wander more or less back on topic, one change I would like to see is the insistence of firmware 1.99 that after connecting to my computer, ejecting and letting the Kobo Touch do it's processing new content routine, that I want to see the last 5 books in my library by a title sort displayed on the home screen.
Minor correction, it's not the last 5 books -- last three books, skip 2, next two books.
