So the e-reader technology has a long way to go before I'll be willing to switch for my work. Though I was happy to make the switch for my leisure novel reading as any device that displays text well, and easy to hold and read is fine for that.

The ePub format keeps page numbers- otherwise, I'd never consider buying academical texts in electronic format
