I like both "navigations", on the pbooks and on my ereader.

I configured my H2O so I have to lefttap or swipe somewhere on the left 2/3 of the screen to go forward and on the right 1/3 to go back. It suits me that way and I can do it onehanded. My bebook mini has buttons but I have no real preference for them or for the toughscreen to turn pages. Both are less work than turning a pbook page, but that's only an advantage when having only one hand or no place to turn a page.

I never studied with an ereader so I have no opinion on going back and forward a lot and using lots of bookmarks. Out of habit I think I would prefer paper but not to have carry a lot of books around would probably change my mind.

For the charts and illustrations, should books (paper or ebooks) having lots of them not have an image index ?

This said, I prefer books with lots of images/charts to be paperbooks, but my reasons have nothing to do with navigation and all about how they are displayed on my ereader.
