Re: Another plus point for ebooks for reference works
"I have yet to find a paper book with a really comprehensive replacement for CTRL+F."
I was very disappointed that my Kindle Paperwhite search facility couldn't find the text I wanted in a Kindle book. I had lost my place due to some clumsy swipes - but could remember some of the relevant page's text. After trawling through the e-book manually - there was the text in the expected place.
I still find paper books easier to trawl through - I can do a skim far quicker than in an e-book. Pictures and diagrams have proved a nightmare on the Kindle as they are always initially too small and it is tedious having to zoom them.
