I'm a fan of reference literature, don't read them from cover to cover, but whenever I'm bored I will look up an article at random and learn something new. One of those books is New York Public Library Desk Reference.

So I thought I should get a few of those reference books to have on my Kindle, but to my surprise I discovered that very little is available in that genre. With the built-in search capabilities of an E-reader, I thought that reference works and E-readers would have been a marriage in the anteroom of Heaven. For some reason it is not. Any ideas why that is?
