If you flip through one of my old case books, it's a very ROYGBIV experience.

2) Notation which appears in the margins. I like to write margins in the notes.

3) Able to do my own indexing.

This.

I also like being able to have multiple books in front of me when doing research. You can't really do that with Kindle and such.

I don't mind an e-book if I'm just reading for pleasure, but in terms of academic/professional work, I need a physical copy.
