[nabs-l] Braille Highlighters?

Brandon,
One thing which might work is putting placemarkers in your books. If
you're reading books on the BrailleNote, you can insert placemarkers
at the beginning of important paragraphs/sentences that you'll need
later. Then, when you go back later, you can jump directly to that
particular placemarker.
Another suggestion you might try is this. If you're working with
hardcopy Braille books, put a paperclip on the top of the page that
you'll need for later. Then you'll open directly to that page and
you'll know that the paragraph you need is right in front of you. Like
Arielle, I find highlighting to be pretty useless. If I take notes on
a book, I always just use a separate document. Well, hope that helped.
