Nope, nope, never!
Not even in Uni - I would make copies or handwrite bits out, or use coloured paperclips and post-its and stuff. I used to cringe every time my classmates highlighted and scribbled away at their textbooks.
On the other hand I am partial to a well-thumbed, softened paper book which inevitably happens when you've read it loads and carried it around a bit - unfortunately it then becomes a precarious balance to ensure it doesn't continue to soften to the point where it falls apart.
I once lent a book and the guy had dropped it in the bath and spilt coffee on it. He told me before I returned it and couldn't understand my absolute horror when I realised he wasn't joking. I don't think I ever spoke to him again.
Do like the idea of an ebook reader where I can mark the bits I like or make corrections, if/when I upgrade it will definitely be a consideration.
