Kindle :
- I find the search result pane a little too cluttered
- To navigate between search results, you need to bring back the menu, click on the back button and choose another one
- To get back to where you were, you need to bring the menu and push two times that back button (which is a little slow because you need to wait for the search results to show back again before pushing it a second time)

As I'm reading manuals sometimes, I attach a lot of importance in the search functionality.

Hope it makes sense!

Thanks, Dan - that makes sense. I too use the search facility a lot on my Voyage (I'm doing a part-time degree in Egyptology, so need to skip around in books a lot when, for example, I'm writing an essay), and I find the Kindle's search facility works really well, but obviously whatever suits you is what matters.

Hope you enjoy using your H2O!
