I have no difficulty with that using the Kindle's highlighting ability, Jo. When I'm working on essays for my Egyptology course I use very much the process that you describe: a quick read through the material, then a more detailed read, highlighting the passage that are going to be of use to me, and then a re-read of the passages I've highlighted to extract the pertinent facts from them. It works well for me. The Kindle makes it easy to go directly to any passage I've highlighted in a book.
