It can, but i never do (i dont do it in real books, either). Bookmarks I have set, but I tend to built a toc myself off the ebook, and add it to the front.
I use the book in 3 basic modes. pleasure reading - 85%. news catchup - 10% tech lookup - 5% I have a memory card that has a bunch of tech manuals for the technologies I might run into on any given project, I can pop in if I need to do a lookup, or need to do some tech reading during lunch. I have an rss/html program I wrote to grab the blogs and feeds I want to read, and generate an imp file. I used to use this every morning before I commuted to work downtown boston on the train. doesnt get used much anymore, as my laptop is waiting now after my 20 foot commute these days. the form factor for me is very important. I love the size and hand feel of the ebook, the large swale on one side (mimicking a folded back paperback in form) allows effortless reading for hours (even though it is heavier than the kindle). I love the 2 buttons. (up.down), and I love that that is flips over with a single screen click so I can switch from right hand to left hand as needed.
