You're right, he's doing that a lot in Under the Dome.. sometimes I wish he didn't I want to see what happens, not be told the character is going to die in five pages!

A book & a pencil ....love to keep it classic & original (^_^)"

I'm probably weird but I can't imagine writing/drawing/highliting in my books. :D I'd feel like I'm depreciating the book...

i highlight stuff on my android kindle app just coz i can. lol. not coz i need to/want to

I highlight the first sentence of favorite scenes in my favorite books, so if I want to just re-read those, they're easy to find.

I highlight good writing examples, quotes that speak to me, etc...sometimes I add notes, other times it's just to share with others.

Reading is for pleasure and escape from bordom so I never highlight

I voted other. I highlight rarely, only if it is a really good quote.

I highlight in paper books, but not on my ereader.

I enjoy reading the high-tech way, but take notes the old school way - with a pen and paper.

I highlight information that I want to delve deeper into; to know more about. Before my eReader I used to keep 3x3 sticky notes inside the front cover of the book to put this info on... referencing the pg #, and if I owned the book I would highlight.

I read a lot of non-fiction, so I highlight things I am likely to refer to again.

Indexing your notes...That's a great idea!

I add highlights but I don't know how to get back to them so it makes it pretty pointless.

I've done it one time and one time only. And at the moment, I can't remember why I did it, or, the book I did it in...

I highlight sometimes. Usually I don't highlight "enjoyment" reading. Once in a great while I will. I've used the feature for school assignments and found it very useful.

English is my second language, so I highlight as a way to learn vocab. And there are moments in a book or good sayings that I want to read again and again, so I highlight them

That's what I like about an e-reader; I won't highlight in a traditional book and have to sticky tab favorite passages.

That is true, I cringe when I see people in public mark books with a pen or highlighter.. I literally have to avert my gaze and we're not even talking about textbooks, but novels! yikes

I highlight quotes I want to remember.

I occasionally highlight if it's a really good quote that I know I'll want to refer back to in the future. Often I'll go back later and clear all the highlights before I reread so that I'm not yanked out of the narrative by reminding myself why I highlighted that part...

:3 same

I now have a kindle, a birthday present. I highlight quotes I love and metaphors I really like. I like that I can go back and find the quotes easily if i want to remember them in the future. Usually with print books, I write the quotes down or type them up. I find if I don't and want to find them one day, it can be really hard.

I always highlight!!

This made me laugh so hard.

I CANNOT read without a pencil in my hand. So until e-books could be underlined, I did not use one. Highlight loads. Otherwise how can you retain what has been great writing, or key points?

The only time i highlight is when i am forced to stop reading mid page that way i can mark my spot.

I like to highlight quotes I like, that I want to include in my reviews, or in some of the teasers I do on my blog. I have a Kindle Fire, which makes it easy.

I've always been an underliner (in lead pencil) of hard copy, especially when I was reviewing a book, or when I came across a particularly memorable passage. Highlighting in my ereader is the nearest equivalent.

YES, i highlight so many parts on my Kindle that sometimes i think i really overdo it!! but I cant but do this since i read mostly on my reader and i must highlight the parts to remember!

I like highlighting quotes, words to define, and phrases I like to use in everyday conversations or essays. :)

I never highlight fiction books and sometimes non-fiction if I need to quote something for a work-related paper.

Oops! I'm not speaking of using the quote verbatim in an essay - more like getting my ideas together and using a word or two in different sentences. I really speaking of using words mainly - not verbatim quotes for an essay.

Yes, i do highlight alot especially those good phrases and quotes that i wd always want to rememember!

Before my Kindle, I would underline or write comments in some books. I've continued that practice.

I highlight anything that strikes me as hilarious or emotionally inspiring--mostly the former.

للاسف التظليل غير ممكن احيانا في الكتب بصيغة pdf
حيث لايدعم الكندل اللغة العربية :(

I highlight my favourite quotations and moments but also references in the book to other books, music or films.

only sometimes

I only highlight books about dog training.

I have a notebook were I write my thoughts because I guess my young big head can't hold onto all those thoughts. But when I'm reading on my kindle, I write in my notebook AND highlight because I feel like "I'll want to find it again later so might as well." I mean, I don't want to highlight in an actual book but I can in a digital one so might as well!

I only highlight in non-fiction books. And, sometimes I will highlight in biography/autobiographies when there is a quote I want to remember.

Yes. I love the hight light feature. Especially as a teacher I use it every time I read a book for my students.

I do highlight on my Kindle intending to use the highlights in any review of the book, but then either don't review it or don't use the highlights if I do. I'm so silly.

Nope.. Me don't highlight

I never highlight. If it's important I'll remember it when I need it and if I like something or find it inspiring/etc. I don't generally forget it. I was spanked one too many times for writing in books when I was younger. Now books are sacred to me, no matter if they're physical or not. They must not be tainted. That being said, finger prints are the only thing I find worth having in a book. It means that someone took the time to love that book. Or at least they loved it in my mind. =P

I'm a highlighting fiend. On this big thick novels with tons of characters I highlight the 1st time the character is mentioned. When he/she turns up 200 pgs later I can use the note sort function to reference who they are. Really helpful for books without character listings. And for favorite quotes as well. And for writing reviews.

On my kindle I highlight any and all things that stand out to me...a message about something or someone or a quote from a character!

I love my highlight function..it lets me go back easier and read the things that make me feel good!!!

Of course it is..I highlight my fiction books too..when I come across a particularly awesome line I highlight it to find later..

I love highlighting on my ereader, it allows me a reminder for interesting passages, but also a way to turn them off so they're not distracting (which really bothers me when highlighting in hard copies).
