Sorry, I'll have to disagree again.
It's relevant to me, e.g. I refuse to pay extra for a feature which is included in the device I paid for already, Any electronic document is searchable, ebooks are no exception. I'm sorry I fail to see this any differently.
IF I had not paid for the device I'd agree but this is not the case.
The only argument for me that is really in favor of the ebook compared to pbook is space. Since I live in France, living space tends to be pretty expensive, pbook can take up a lot of space on shelves if you like to keep them (of course it's irrelevant if you sell them back)
Also the ebook is more ecologic than a pbook, it uses less materials, consumes less fuel, releases less toxic gazes or whatever.
Imho it should be promoted by governments
