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.

It can be just as hard to remember exactly where something is in a paper book as it is in an ebook (IMO). We think that it's easier to work with paper pages because we've had some 400 + years of using that media. No doubt there were some back when books went from scrolls to manuscript (early books) who felt that scrolls were easier to access than the early books. It's all a matter of point of view I think.
