I sound like a hater, but I don't mind my device that much. I try to remember that I'm reading books, sometimes decent ones, and that lets me tolerate the reader. They remain more of a future possibility than a present solution though.

There we have the real reason for your problems -- you do not read linearly, you are jumping back and forth, but not to previously set bookmarks. That makes sense for scientific research works or books with plenty of footnotes, or with references in the back. Such books are indeed unsuitable for the readers. My guess is we are about 2-3 years from that point and from great color displays.
Some shortcomings (and pbooks have plenty, too) do not take away from their great usefulness for many purposes.
