Actually I think e-readers are useless for academic research - you need to flick backwards and forwards between text, index, notes all the time in ways which are easy with the physical book or journal but clumsy on current e-readers (at least on my Bebook)

Excellent points, Peter. Thanks. I think I will just relegate the K2 to 'pleasure' reading status, and all academic books will be printed from here on out. I guess I was looking for a justification that wasn't needed or actually there. I've got the K2 now, I might as well enjoy it.
