On e-books: it's only recently occurred to me to copy and paste plain-text e-books (from Project Gutenberg, say) into Word** files for more comfortable reading. Now I can choose the font and font size, and centre the text on the page. And it's no longer necessary to make a note of the right place to resume reading later; now I just highlight it.
Easy-peasy and obvious. It only took me 500 years to think of it.
**Or equivalent. I use Open Office now, but don't know what to call it. OO?
UPDATE
On bookmarking a place in the ebook: I've abandoned the highlight-as-bookmark idea. It's quicker to search instead. I copy+paste text from the relevant place into the top of the file, then when I come back later to restart reading, cut+paste it into the search field of ctrl+f.
