I have a BeBook, which is pretty good for novels and such, but I don't like it for technical & science books.

Images & code example often aren't displayed conveniently, the default is often too small so you need to zoom & scroll from left-to-right, which is awkward.

In addition, you can't quickly browse & flip back and forth to pages as with a `real' book, which I find inconvenient especially in technical books (& also in books with maps/appendixes, such as the Song of Ice and Fire series, Lord of the Rings, etc).

(This is obviously not a Kindle, I've never even touched a Kindle, but I feel these problems drawbacks to eBook readers in general).
