I'd not considered using an ebook reader like that, although the Kobo works a little differently to the kindle (and chapter length is displayed, so you know how far to the next breakpoint).Toni Ertlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191085694671148065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695060.post-8263758850580006402013-04-09T07:52:22.072+01:002013-04-09T07:52:22.072+01:00On ereaders and reference reading: I've heard ...On ereaders and reference reading: I've heard others with a similar opinion but I do think they have some benefits. You've got the ability to search the work - not just an index but an exhaustive concordance for every work on your reader and all of them put together. You also have the ability to add highlights and notes without defacing the book and with the feature of being able to jump between them.<br /><br />Granted, it is harder to replicate the approach of flicking through a book (I miss this in fiction, too, where I often want to glance ahead and see how long until the next convenient breakpoint) but, given that you can tote around a whole library in something no bigger than a small paperback, they have plenty of value for keeping information available.Wulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122559314286527166noreply@blogger.com
