I only use these features when I am reading a review book. Otherwise, I don't touch them.

Yes, I often use highlights to highlight notable statements/paragraphs I find in the book. Also, a bookmark is plausible for me to remember where I halt from reading.

I haven't used the bookmark page yet but I just recently started highlighting portions of the book instead of hand writing everything out like profanity, sexual content, etc. this makes writing reviews and little easier!

I highlight when I want to pay attention to a specific line, sentence, or sometimes paragraph. But I bookmark when I want to pay attention to multiple paragraphs, or an entire scene.

I always use the bookmark. I think it is a great feature on my iPad and the Kindle. Are usually go between my phone and the Kindle when I’m reading I want to make sure I can keep my place and they sync together

I use the bookmark option on my Kindle. I know I'll be murdered for saying this, but I used to bend the corners of my books as a kid. I now use bookmarks...

I used both of them so that what I have highlighted can easily be retracted back through bookmarks. Both features are helpful to me, especially in noting some of the most critical points of the book and notably the most favorite parts I have with what I read. I presume you use both of them for easy reading.

The thought of using the highlight feature has never really crossed my mind. I just write down whatever I think is important to remember in a journal.

I essentially use none of the two because I always remember where I read last even when reading four books at the same time. I also make sure that when reading multiple books I note where I read last down in my brain.

In my case, definitely yes. I both use them as they play an essential role in my reading. It made my read really quick and convenient.

No, I don't. But I do make notes in a different document.
