The only thing I CAN'T obviously do with an e-reader is remember WHERE I read something if I need to look for it. In a book, I could say something like: "I read it over here, somewhere", and then open the book at around 25% or so. When using an e-reader, I'd have to take a look at the page number (seeing 472), and then jump to "page" 120, and after that, start flipping back and forth.
In a real book, this is much faster. Therefore, if studying something and needing more than one book, I either prefer paper books, or a computer if the information is electronic. I won't ever use an e-reader or tablet for that, because I'd need to have a device per book I'm using.

The thing you can do with ebooks though is search for words, much easier than in a print book.
Certainly not as easy to 'browse through' though.
