I've got to both agree & disagree. I have no more trouble remembering what I've e-read than what I've p-read but I do find it easier to search a p-book when I don't remember exactly what I'm looking for, i.e. I need to skim a book to find whatever it is. Skimming I definitely find easier in a p-book because I can read two pages at once-and generally they're at least twice as long as a screen so two p-pages, which I skim in a second or two, is equivalent to 4 screens which I skim in maybe 30 seconds. (I haven't timed either. Maybe the difference isn't as extreme as it feels.)
It also makes a difference why I'm reading. If I'm studying then I do *lots* of re-reading. Again, that's easier (for me) in a p-book. If I'm reading for relaxation then even when I think 'who is this person' I generally wait to pick it up from context-and if that doesn't work then most of the time the question isn't important.
