eBooks are pretty much the perfect example of how much worse you can make something and still win on convenience. eBooks are terrible compared to paper books but you can buy them faster, store them in zero space, take them anywhere, and read them in the dark, so they win anyway.
How bad ebooks are at nonlinear reading is even worse given how good they *could* be, if they bothered with things like links and good search functionality.

I think there are some genuine UI breakthroughs needed but yeah good search would go a long way. Maybe requires better quality ereaders though - the UI for search is really bad on my Kindle and it's mostly because e-ink and crappy touch screen. Maybe newer gen ones are better.

But yes in principle they should be way better. Computers are meant to be good at this.
