I don't believe him one bit. Not unless he reads 2 books per year.
Probably he remembers the general idea of the content and doesn't care about quotes.
Anyway, I usually just highlight on the copy of the document. Or scribble down stuff, circle a paragraph, things like that. My tablet came with a stylus, so reading a PDF is pretty much the same as reading a paper book in regard to note taking and the bonus is I don't damage the book/document. I usually do this for study. I use
ezPDF on my android tablet.
I don't export them, but ezPDF does support that.
Books I read for stories and entertainment I read exclusively on PW2.
Edit: forgot to add.
I don't necessarily consider quotes from novels 'important'. But if I do like some, I usually highlight them on kindle, and if I really really like them, I add them on Goodreads and like them from my Goodreads account.
However, it's safe to say that my favorite quote from
Neil Gaiman's American Gods, is not of same importance as something I need to learn to pass an exam or write a paper.
So my question to you is do you need these quotes for study or entertainment?
