Indeed, when reading books for pleasure (even non fiction ones) the same applies to me, and Kobo with its kepub format has the added bonus of easily accessible footnotes, which must be the feature I love most, together with the ability to look up a term in wikipedia straightaway.
My problem is that I persevere in using my Mini for work, too, which is where switching etc becomes important. I am well aware that a tablet would be much better for this, but I can't stand the screen - I am not alone in wanting an "e-ink tablet", but it is definitely a niche market, and I am not confident the large student market will ever take a big liking to e-ink, as kids nowadays are very used to lcd screens, unlike middle aged people like me
