I find I have to do some quick math sometimes to figure how far back or forward to go. One hold goes 10 pages plus a quick click or two forward or back, etc. In the end, I've found that it is almost as fast as with a pbook. The only thing different that I've found is that my memory of where a piece of information is located is not as good. I use to have a picture in my mind of where on the page it was located and what the facing page contained in order to quickly locate it. This helped in college texts and work-related papers but not in the ebooks so far. Maybe my brain needs to be wired differently to store and locate ebook information

I remember when PC first started. It seemed to be a major pain to remember what to call everything. Then "new" words were still being changed and you had to remember the current one in use. It was a hoot to listen to my grandmother talk!
