I don't like to write in books either, but I do write on note paper that I stick between the pages, and in a pinch, I can use light pencil in margins. Never really found much use for highlighting, when I can use a penciled-in arrow or asterisk in the margin, which erases quite nicely.
One day in the future, it'll be easy and useful to do this sort of things with ebooks, but not today, unfortunately.
