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

The double spacing between paragraphs never bothered me, although I prefer it without. With a reader, I don't like double-spaced lines because it just messes with the flow. There's not enough on each page.
I like Evanovich too--well, the early ones. I stopped reading at about 10 and probably should have stopped with 8. The last two I read were so-so.
I like Julie Moffet in that same vein and Karen Cantwell's Take the Monkey's and Run. Neither is high literature, but I am a geek and enjoy the laughs. Same with Elizabeth Peter's Vicky Bliss series. I know some didn't care for it, but I thought the series got better and better. The highlight is obviously characterization. When I went back after years and years and reread the first, I was amazed at how the mystery plot wasn't ... well, there were what I'll call resolution issues. I remember the series so fondly I had forgotten about Peters tendency to leave a few threads lying about the place.
