Well, every format is a compromise. You have to work on the issues.
I was raised to respect printed books. I was camping once and ran into a librarian. She used to take the discard books camping. She'd rip the chapters off that she had read already and feed the campfire. It still makes me shudder. People who fold back paperbacks all the way do too.
Still, no one can deny that a 1000 page book is a hunk of firewood.
On the ebook navigation theme, I'm happy to say that I've fine-tuned the footnotes problem so that it's much more pleasant and I'm less likely to miss a good one.
