Can I highlight and make notes in an e-book?
Answer
Yes you can! Of our main e-book providers, Kortext, VLEbooks and Ebook Central all allow you to highlight the full text, create notes and annotations, and even bookmark your favourite pages in their online readers; only EBSCOhost lacks this functionality. Taylor & Francis are currently the only publisher that allows you to highlight, annotate, or bookmark the full text of their e-books online. Be aware that this only applies to the online reader. Usually your highlights and notes won't sync between online and downloaded versions (Kortext being the only exception) and, depending on your software or app, you may not be able to highlight or annotate a downloaded e-book at all. If you use these features regularly, it may be better to use avoid downloading e-books wherever possible.
