I have one of the original Kindles. If there is one thing I miss as compared to a real book is the inability to "flip" through the book looking for a particular passage or portion of the book.

I am not talking "search" or "locate" but just flipping pages in a comfort book read many times to reread a favorite passage. I know of no easy way to do this on a Kindle.

I also have an iPhone 3GS and downloaded the free "iBook" application. This application gives me a little scroll bar at the bottom that allows me to "flip" through the book. Why can't the kindle do this?????

My question is does any of the ebook readers provide this type of ability to "leaf" through a book?
