This sounds right to me:
Sounds right to me too. The book I'm currently reading, The British in India is one in which I often find myself going back up the page to double check a detail like a name or a date, and then there's all the footnotes which have me jumping to and from the last third of the book several times per page. All of this is trivially easy to do in an ebook, but I imagine it would be less so in an audiobook.
