I don't know about Kindle, but my reader lets me insert bookmarks everywhere. I imagine it would be pretty easy to flip from book to book because of the touch screen and markup functions. Surely that would be easier than having a lot of heavy books to deal with, don't you think?

I remember how it was for me when writing papers - books on every available surface, paperclips for bookmarks sticking out of every other page, etc. I know for me, having it all on one simple reader would have been a godsend.
