How many of you didn't even give a look to the pbook's index?

I suppose it should be true that the medium has some kind of influence on how or what you read. I have a lot of difficulties concentrating on something I read on a computer screen, and I think I'm not alone in that, and probably it explains many misconceptions about e-books. But I haven't noticed any difference in the way I read e-books, personally. I tend to read in a linear fashion, even non-fiction, so a table of content is usually wasted on me, lol. But I have to admit I don't read a lot of non-fiction in e-book form, simply because I often can't find the books I want.
