It's pretty slow to pull up books marks on an ereader at least on the ones I've used (Kindle 1 and Sony 505).

Much slower than flipping through a stack of notes. Or flipping to a page in a printout or book with a post it flag or real bookmark stuck in.

You can do that nearly instantly (which is key for people on camera) while it takes several seconds to get into the menu, go to book marks, click the one you want and wait for it to display the page etc.

I don't know that ereaders will ever be faster than paper for that. They will get better, but there will always be a menu to access etc. versus just instantly going to a real bookmarked or flagged page.
