I use Evernote Web Clipper which strips out clutter and just posts the simplified article to my Evernote.

For e-books I tend to use the highlight service on the Kindle/Kindle App (Just recently seen you can follow other peoples highlights which is interesting).

Oh really? Do you use the follow functionality?

I was thinking of getting a Kindle, and this may tip the balance :)

I don't really follow other people but it does allow open aggregation of highlighted text.

So you can compare and contrast your highlights versus the masses. It is interesting to see how common certain passages actually are.

However, I used the Kindle App on iPad, not a Kindle ;-) I have a nook glow I picked up for $40 a while ago.

Oh, really? Open aggregation of highlighted text? On the one hand it could be cool to compare what I find relevant to what others find find relevant. But on the other hand, can't it get too cluttered and distracting?

I believe you can disable the highlights in the settings; maybe even temporarily.
