Mm-hmm. Easy to forget what a tiny niche we're in.
Ebooks are great for novels, less great for linear nonfiction (where you might want to jump around between chapters, especially after the first read), and atrocious for anything with charts & tables. And the best of the current text readers are B&W only; can't show color pics, can't show large pics. They're awful for research work; the annotation abilities are limited at best, and there's no easy "four colors of post-it notes" ability.
Some of these problems will be overcome with tech advances; some may never be fixed, but enhanced search & other ebook abilities may overtake them.
