K Reading an e-book, I'll highlight, bookmark, comment.
In my e-books, you'll definitely see it more 'marked up' as compared to any physical copies I have.

When reading a book physically, I'll underline or star a paragraph with a pencil very lightly. Also, I'd do it as least as possible, usually it would be quotes that I want to remember or a very specific scene.

Hari Brandl No.

I highlight occasionally. My husband and I do a lot of reading and if I really liked a book but think he may not read it, I highlight passages I think he might enjoy.

R.C. Dilan I love highlighting and taking notes while reading. It's like having a conversation with yourself and imaginary characters, but people don't look at you weird.


message 455: by Kay (new)

Kay J For a time I wouldn't highlight, but now I do, especially when a good saying is quoted, or if I want to imagine the scene my way I will highlight and redo a scene how I'd like it to be.

Kate Willis I'm addicted to highlighting!

Sherin Hehe ... Got a Kindle Paperwhite as a Gift and am enjoying reading books in that ;) ... haven't done highlighting and stuff yet .... and stick to stories for most part ... as I don't have a sense of reading academic books there on ... as yet :| But reading experience is definitely a lot better laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet ;)


message 458: by Laura (new)

Laura Prime I have just started highlighting and found it very helpful. for going back to things i need to remember.

Kimberly I previously answered this poll and I had to change my answer. I never used to highlight in my Kindle but now, I probably make at least one highlight in each book.


message 460: by Paula (new)

Paula I like to highlight when i read. I do this in my paper books as well as my kindle. There are so many beautiful passages, quotes, and phrases they deserve highlighting.


Nicole (inmycozynook) I don't highlight or mark anything in novels ever, except for maybe writing my name inside the cover. But I do occasionally highlight scripture in my Bible app that I use on my tablet.


message 462: by Gitte (new)

Gitte I highligt a lot! Love it when I reread the books. And I reread a LOT!

Amanda I don't often use my Kindle, but I do find myself making notes of important events or prophecies so I can easily find them, but I like to highlight good words or phrases. I used to keep a list of wonderful words, but I've kind of stopped, and I don't think I ever added all of the words I highlighted... Maybe I'll start it again.


message 464: by Susy (new)

Susy I ALMOST never highlight but sometimes I do.


message 465: by Anna (new)

Anna I sometimes highlight.


message 466: by Ruthanne (new)

Ruthanne Johnston No highlighting since I did in nursing school...but I do make notes, especially in books like ONCE UPON A RIVER with multiple characters.


message 467: by Mari (new)

Mari C I like using it on my kindle app for character descriptions or things I think are important. I write notes where there are errors.


message 468: by Steve (new)

Steve Yes. You never know when you my find a quote helpful.


message 469: by Sherin (new)

Sherin Haha ... True ... Highlighting is a good feature. Somehow I find reading on the system easier since the reader screen makes more turns needed than system :( Also, holding it is difficult ... planning to get a stand for it :P

I love highlighting!


message 471: by Corinne (new)

Corinne I love highlighting and then sharing those highlights. It's the best part of kindle books, that you can always search for the popular highlights.


message 472: by Cassidy (last edited Jan 11, 2021 12:16PM) (new)

Cassidy Tucker I'm currently reading Les Misérables on Kindle and I highlight something almost every time I pick it up. There are several really good lines in there that I want to be able to go through and find later. I've even color-coded it according to whether I find it funny, sad, generally pretty, or significant to the storyline in some way--and I also add notes (mostly lyrics from the musical or "#Pontmercying").

Mahtab sometimes i write quotes in my special notebook :D

Sonia N. I do not always hi light, but I do when I’m reading a book I am enjoying. If I happen to find a paragraph or a sentence interesting then I hi light.

message 477: by Mona (new)
