Is the Kindle 2 that difficult to "study" from?

Has anyone actually done a side by side comparison of the Kindle 2 vs. paperback book, on a specific programming book? Is the Kindle 2 that difficult to "study" from?

I have a Kindle 2. I think it is great for reading non-technical books. However, I haven't studied from a digital textbook on one.

I would expect to be just as bad as trying to study from a PDF version of a textbook on a computer. I have found this to be a royal pain. It is inconvenient to jump back and forth in the digital text book. It is much easier to go back and forth in a paper book. Maybe it's my age showing. I'm still more comfortable using a paperback to study from. Just my opinion.

Paper-books are cool, mainly available in academic school libraries. Before you retire, please buy paper-books and read, it is not too early anymore

I won a Sony Reader. It should arrive in a few weeks. Not full-sized either. I'm not expecting much.
