I do take a lot of notes. I wouldn't characterize it as huge, but one of the perks of reading e-books is that you can highlight without damaging the book itself. I take anywhere from 15 to 80 notes per book, and then transfer them to a word document for further research. Ninety percent of my notes are about things I want to research further, rather than quotes. The one exception where I literally took like hundred of notes was from the book "This is how they tell me the world ends" which has a 50 page word file that you can download from the author's site that contains all the bibliography and online resources she used to write the book. I've gone through each and every one of the references. There are thousands of them in there.
