I realize there's no text input mechanism, and there's no touch screen, for entering text to search for... but I'd thought of that and don't see it as a hindrance. My TV and TivO lack a keyboard, and yet I search for shows by text in the title all the time... cursor around an alphabet and hit "enter". It might be a bit cumbersome, but I think it's valuable. I have a large .txt library on my PC, and can grep it for text pretty easily there... just thinking of other applications - like say you're on the road and you have your tour guide in your reader... and you KNOW there's a famous fountain here somewhere... so you search for "fountain" and blip through hits on fountain until you find it. (Just a quick example... no need to point out that searching your Rome guidebook for "fountain" would generate a couple of hits per page, heh)
