I have only magnetic bookends. I like and dislike them all the time. It
seems that either some of our shelving is getting demagnetized or the
magnets just don't stick to some shelves as well as others (not sure what's
going on sometimes). In terms of sliding, they do slide a bit, especially
when larger sized books lean over (for us it's nonfiction and graphic
novels that tend to have the most trouble, but our bookends are also pretty
short).
