Paper books are instantly interactive. When I flip to a page, I see immediate results. When I'm flipping big chunks of pages, casually implementing binary search to get to a particular page, I get instant results. E-ink sucks because you have to wait for results. Immediacy actually makes the tiny iPhone screen better than e-ink!
