I checked "Mostly Fiction (More than 70 percent)." There wasn't a choice for 50%-50%. I think much of the best writing now is the new style of non-fiction. In history, books like 1776 by David McCullough and Ladies of Liberty by Cokie Roberts--this one describes what was happening but without the "guns-and-trumpets" of traditional accounts. Both books are about US history in the period 1775 to about 1828 (the US Revolution and Early Republic). I also enjoy non-fiction science thrillers like The Demon Under the Microscope too. I feel that these non-fiction books are more interesting than the dry styles typical of the past and more meaningful than most fiction.
Devices like the EB1150 that support word and sentence searches and let you write notes in the eBook might help some who want to do research on their eBook reader. Someday those features will probably be ubiquitous.
