I'm enjoying talking to you about this. I think it's a double-edged sword. On one hand, promoting patience and reading entirely through a book is a great thing, and something that should be pushed. On another hand, you might have a person be turned off from reading if it's a book they're not enjoying. That's more a high school situation though where you're forced to read a book, I'd imagine a person renting an e-reader from a library wouldn't have that issue. That said, I agree with you in that allowing people to jump around does not help with patience, not at all. It does help with exploring new content though.
