I've found this very helpful in my Jane Austen class, using the sections I've highlighted and made notes on in my essays.
I guess, it mainly depends on the studies you take.
If you, for instance, take quotes and are comfortable enough with the keyboard, Kindle may make more sense than (in my case very ugly) penmanship.
But if you do technical studies, typing a formula might be impossible and it simply may be way easier to add that formula to the edge of the screen.
And for my job, I have SLAs, contracts, proposals and stuff like that on some of my readers. Here I simply want to draw circles around critical passages. I want to link one paragraph to another by simply drawing an arrow.
Meaning: I want to operate similar to a handwritten notebook.
