Really?? What ereader do you use? How are you taking notes (that you would be able to retrieve later in a reasonable manner), using the index, etc? I've wanted for years to switch to electronic books for nonfiction that I want to learn from, but software for reading feels so bad for this purpose.

Fbreader, nothing special.

It has bookmarks I occasionally use.

I write actual notes either with pen&paper or keyboard into a file on laptop. Retrieval is via ctrl+f or looking at the paper.

My Boox Note Air 3 (non-Color version) runs android, and allows for scribbling on pdf's for notes.
