I want to love the highlighting/note taking features, as I imagine it to be really useful somehow, but I've never gotten around to it. I used to do this all the time with physical books - have a separate notepad, where I jotted down interesting words and phrases and my thoughts while reading. Now I can do that right on the page on my Nova 3, and even share and export the notes. But it's just not interesting for some reason.

The main reason I use the search function is if I want to find where a particular character was previously mentioned.
As for highlinginh - mostly I'm reading fiction books from the library so it's not like I'm going to be referring to them again. However, sometimes an author will introduce a bunch of characters all in a single paragraph near the beginning of the book. Since it can take me a while to start remembering who's who, highlighting such a list can be useful.
