I'm taking an online class right now and I've converted the coursework to PDF and reading it on my EZReader. It's working out great. I'm not a "highlighter"--I find it works better to take notes as I read. I retain it longer and understand it better, especially if I force myself to rewrite the information in my own words. I read somewhere that highlighting gives you permission to go back and read that item later, rather than retaining it as you read it.
I realize that mileage may vary, of course. But I'd like to see the kids be taught better study habits than read and highlight and forget.
