I'm often reading in bed or on the sofa where highlighting would be a pain with a physical book - with my Kindle app it's so easy.

What's even better is how quickly I can access my highlighted notes. I often find I'm in a conversation with someone and say, "hey there's a great quote on the topic we are discussing from book I read years ago - let me show it to you".

I just wish the "Your Highlights" interface online was faster and better designed. It just feels like they did it to placate users but didn't put a lot of care or effort into making it feel like a great experience.
A few times I've wanted to make a script to download all those highlights into a text file, but I've never bothered... would still be really nice though.
