The Sookie was good for a book but not so much after that and I LOATHED the graveyard book/series. That was far too creepy the way she wrote the whole brother/sister thing even after it was "cleared" up.
Hitch, I completely agree with your points.

Ahh, I liked Aurora Teagarden, Lily Bard I only read one. Was okay. I'm not so much into cozies now. And I still enjoy chick-lit almost mysteries like Evanovich's Stephanie Plum or Lois Greiman on occasion just because they are funny,
For me ebooks are easier to page back and forth in, although I had no problem with paper. It is easier to go back and forth between larger gaps in a paper book, you can just stick your thumb in the general area, I know I have done it but not often, and usually because I wasn't paying attention the first time through.
The only author I can recall having to go back more than once is Robert K. Tanenbaum. But that was because he has a lot of characters and subplots seguing back and forth, and I would sometimes miss a point of interaction. Nothing to do with punctuation. Now weird margins and double spaced lines, don't get me started on that
