[QUOTE="Dave_In_Philly, post: 261668, member: 1907"] I love my kindle, I have two actually, but you pointed out its one major flaw, in my opinion. Its an odd talent, I know, but I can usually remember a passage and picture it's exact spot on the page and the page number within 5 or 10 pages (too many years of cramming for final exams I guess). So I have always been able to flip back and find exactly the information I was looking rather quickly. Admittedly, this is fairly difficult on the kindle, but the kindle does have an advantage that the paper book does not. If your looking for a specific name or a word that is not overly common, you can do a word search and find the information much quicker than you ever could with a paper book. These days it seems the only time I have left to sit down and read uninterrupted is on my train ride to and from work. Lug Doris Kearns' Team of Rivals back and forth everyday for a month and you will quickly see the Kindle's advantage. [/QUOTE]
