I agree textbooks on a laptop are really great - no heavy books, and Ctrl+F works really well. I can't imagine they work very well on e-readers though - it seems like flipping through pages would be slow, and ctrl+f would be pretty difficult without a real keyboard.

The original e-ink Kindle had a real keyboard. It's a little less awkward than the e-ink Nook which used (uses?) a small LCD touchscreen keyboard.

Not exactly an e-reader, but I read my textbooks on a Nexus 7 most of the time. I use Moon+ Reader, and the search and bookmarking features are phenomenal. When I am on a desktop or notebook computer, I use either Evince or Preview, depending on the platform I am using. I would say Moon+ provides an experience equal to that of Evince, and definitely better than Preview, at least for the purposes of being an ebook reader.
