As much as I love the physical book (for a lot of reasons, not least being that my father is a book artist), my favorite feature of the eBook is the searchability. It is incredibly frustrating trying to find that old quote from a hard copy when you're writing. eBooks therefore reduce the need to take notes, which is very desirable. I hate note taking while I'm reading. I don't find that it helps me remember more. I find it disruptive to my concentration.
