Musing Mondays #1 — Highlighting Good or Bad!

Musing Mondays is a weekly bookish meme – hosted by Should Be Reading – that asks you to muse about one of the following each week...

• Describe one of your reading habits.

• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).

• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!

• Tell us what you're reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; why you are (or aren't) enjoying it.

• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!

• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let's hear it, then!

Do you think highlighting in iBooks and kindles is a good thing or bad?

You see, before I had my iPad and when I used to mainly read physical books, I never remembered those pure awesomee quotes you'll find scattered in books like a scavenger hunt. And that annoyed me because I borrowed books from my local library and I'd lose so many puurrfect speeches, love declarations, epic fights, and laugh-so-hard-I-choke humor lines xD

But ever since I got my iPad last year, I've been reading less and less books from the library and ever more ebooks, because for me they're just so much more accessible! I don't have to go out of my way to get to the library, and I don't have to worry about late fees and such. Ohhh! And I can search up words I don't know with a click of a button. That one's a lifesaver! *winks* (I'm a wordy person you see :P) And I can eat or brush my teeth while reading on my iPad at the same time.....hand's free! Oh yeaaaahhh! *sticks out tongue*......not that my parents approve XP *sigh*
Plus, I can highlight my fav quotes! ;)

And there's the problem XDD I used to read much faster back in the physical copy days because I wasn't highlighting every half a page. *crowd cracks up* .......buutt I'm not even kidding o.O I highlight obsessively these days. And as much as I j'adore those quotes, it's getting ridonkculous! I'm thinking I should go to ebook-highlighting-rehab XP Urghh.

I'm gonna have to monitor my highlighting, and slowly 'cure' myself *facepalm*
Anyhooo! What's your opinions peeps? Do you highlight on your ebook devices? Is it a problem for you too, or have you reached a nice balance between reading and highlighting?
........I know, that sounds weird o.O Who actually spends more time highlighting than reading besides poor wittle me? *shakes head sadly*

*grins* Peace outttt! Comment at will you craazy lot *waggles fingers*
