I've been contemplating getting one. It sounds like a cool gadget but I hope it doesn't go the way of the "rocket book."

How is the word search? Could I do a search for say "reapers" in the book "Rise of Endymion" and come up with the section where the "reapers" in the book (of which the Shrike is a member) were born from a no kidding non-fiction software experiment/development in the 1980s that explored how software programs and memes could be made to compete against other programs in a budding cyber ecology--an ecology that would one day become the technocore?

I have some very specific uses for the Kindle.
