I find it more convenient with an ebook actually. The physical act of "leafing" through a physical book has very little to do with skimming, in my opinion. Skimming is letting your eyes glide over words and paragraphs without actually reading every word (though picking up a few relevant tidbits). Something that's very easy and effective for me to do with ebooks. I prefer it to skimming through a physical book, actually. Leafing is letting a bunch of pages fly by without reading much of anything at all. That may be helpful when looking for pictures in a big book, but it certainly never helped me accomplish anything else in my pbook days.
