I'm a student that uses an iPad with ebooks exclusively, and I much prefer the experience to a physical book. As others have said, you complain about software problems, and not inherent problems in the hardware device. In fact, GoodReader lets you set up bookmarks so you can flip back and forth. It also lets you open books in multiple tabs, so you can work with a few books simultaneously. Don't forget another important feature of eBooks - you can search the whole book. You can also annotate without ruining the physical copy ;-). The only problem is books that aren't well made, for example, PDFs without hyperlinks (like "Equation 2.6.1" is not clickable so you have to flip back).
