Maybe that's one of the origins of the personal choice- depending on country/school, the ownership of textbooks. I owned my schoolbooks, for example, since first grade (for primary school it's free, then it's up to you if you want to buy it new or second-hand), even some dictionaries if you were in humanities high school (and annotations on dictionaries for, say, lemma in Latin or Greek will save you a lot of times). So I feel no problem if you want to annotate, add, comment,
doodle and so on (unless it's a text you would have needed at an exam, but some professors actually encouraged annotations- shows that you've worked on it).
As for cracking spines- er, I suppose it was a bit OT, but for the bit about flying paper. Notes have to be kept in order?
I join the queue of "want to be able to annotate ebooks"
asap, in fact.
