Go figure! It's serial reading where you mainly go forward and don't go back and forth much (e.g., a novel), where eBooks shine for me.

What you are saying about textbooks, etc. makes sense.
In fiction books, I like to use the search function if a character appears and I can't remember who he/she is or when he/she last appeared.

If I want to buy an ebook I may check a couple different ebook stores to compare prices, but I don't look for paper books prices if I have no interest in buying paper.
