Agreed, though I think that Scenario 1 - 'Going back to check out a related passage' happens a lot more than I would have initially given credit to, especially when reading a good fiction book - something knotty with plot twists. Every so often I'll have a moment of realisation, and go back a few pages to doublecheck something.
Couldn't really be bothered doing this on e-readers.

If I have to use electronic book for studying then I require a PC with a large monitor, mouse (at vert least a touchpad) and keyboard.

Yeah for sure, the way current e-readers are geared, they only do a page at a time, where non-fiction and educational books generally do a lot of jumping around.
I'm a student too, I hate reading from PC screens but generally its the only option.
