That's actually a pretty stupid excuse. It's like a plot hole... "it's like a book" makes sense until you step back and think about it. Why the hell would you overlook what's probably the most important advantage to electronic reference material? Even searching fiction is highly useful---many times I've wanted to pull quotes and I just couldn't find the page it was on.

Search is a must.
