I think that the Logos/Verbum/Noet/... set of software and books does a promising job of realizing the potential of ebooks for the purposes of study although I could wish for more newbie friendly interface. It definitely provides better tools for searching and cross referencing.
[The company sells classical books and libraries under the Noet brand, Catholic books and libraries under the Verbum brand and other Christian books and libraries under the Logos brand but all purchases are available on all platforms]
