I love e-Textbooks for the following reasons
1.) They are cheaper.
2.) They are much more searchable.
3.) It is easier to insert and find footnotes, bookmarks and references that I have left for the material.
4.) If I need an in-text citation for my paper I can copy and paste.
5.) I can have two windows open on my monitor and type and read as I go with out having to stop and start picking up a book.
6.) When it comes time for book buy back I don't have to wait in line or slang my shit on Amazon only to be fucked out of 99.9% of what I had to fork over for a book.
Now I apply this only to text books. Because the for personal reading I do tends not to happen with me chained to a desk. For personal reading I still like paper, but for anything required for a degree give me an e-textbook or at least the option otherwise you are cheating me with one of the worst scams allowed by law....Book Booking (The name I made up...I hope it catches on)

Because I'm such an extraordinary friend, I will adopt your newfound term and use it liberally.
I like it.
There's nothing like the smel of a new paper book.
