Readers just don't need the type of features the OP is envisioning. Academics do. And when it comes to an academic setting. Ebooks and ereaders just can't hold a candle to multiple physical books (full of physical bookmarks) spread out on a table within easy reach of the student/researcher. They might not ever.


I find it so strange that majority of readers would not make highlights in books. Do you think this depends on the genre of the book being read?

I tend to make a lot of highlights for self-help and technical books
