Yeah I'm interested in this topic too, but there's very little chance that I will go through a 700 page e-book.
I'm probably old-fashioned, but it seems like too much "screen time".
I have about five 500- to 1000-page dead-tree compiler books, and many (most) of them have sat around unread for months or even a few years -- at first.
But over time I've managed to get through significant portions of them. That's probably because they are laying around near my couch. The sight of them reminds me why I bought them :) I find the paper books more ergonomic to skim.
In contrast, I feel like an e-book would just get lost on my iPad. This feedback might not be actionable but I thought I'd share...
