This means that constant flipping is necessary.
Also, I tend to print out patterns because I mark them, either to show when I've done a row, or to underline a stitch combination which has to be repeated.
But I may be untypical.

You aren't atypical, I do the same thing to my patterns. I don't think I would read a pattern book on my Cybook, however I would love to have an HTML or PDF copy of those books so that I could also check out these classic patterns and perhaps print them and mark them up as I use them.
