I understand where you're coming from.
I rarely use the quote feature.
Only exception:
I've read "the richest man of Babylon" a few weeks ago.
Basically, it's a guideline how to "get rich" in less than 10 steps.
For example "save 10% of your income, no matter how big or small".
I've used the quote features for the headlines and some key points.
Not to quote them in some obscure dialog.
But to get back to the essence of the book in maybe 6 months and quickly re-grasp the concept.
And here actually the quote feature on Kindle Paperwhite was quite handy. I see all the quotes in a single document, instead of scrolling through the original book.
Kind of my self-generated CliffsNotes...
I could use the highlight feature, but I find the highlights less comfortable to manage.
I could use the bookmark feature, but then I'd have to go back to the original book, instead of having all quotes from numerous books in a single place.
