Right HarryT?  |
Precisely. The lack of a "search" function on the Reader makes such books of extremely limited value. I suppose that some people might want to read a dictionary or an encylopaedia from start to finish, but the majority would - I suspect - wish to look up entries in them. That's why I was wondering why ns66 was expressing an interest in such books.
