I understand the question. My thinking is that a textbook, or technical manual that I have with me in the reader (even without search) is more useful than the one that I did not carry with me from the office. In this case, portability is the objective and I agree that there are trade-offs. But many times, I have found myself at a customer site (sometimes without easy internet access), and wanted to look at a section of a book that I have on my shelf.
As for search, without an input mechanism it would be clunky at best, but I am praying to the firmware gods.
