The search function only works if you remember the specific wording rather than the idea.
I am bemused by the way any criticism of e-reading, however slight, seems always to be met here with disbelief and disdain.

I guess it kind of depends. Personally, I have no idea in any book I have EVER read where on the page something was. 16 years of reading and only 2.5 years with an ereader.
I would have to disagree about turning pages -- I can't tell the difference between the usability either way.
Search does not require specific wording, only keywords based on what's been going on in that scene. I never have a problem with working it out, although maybe other paople are different. I wouldn't just discard the idea though.
