• Question: Do you write in your books? Highlight? Make notes? Or do you like to keep your copies as pristine as possible?” {source}
If it's a text for school I will probably mark with post-it flags and maybe write in pencil. But I don't write in pen in my books. And it's funny because when I was in college, I always tried to find used texts that were well-marked.

I would DIE if someone wrote in a book. I like them pristine
I only mark books I use for reference. Other I use makers and bookmarks.
I was just the opposite in college--I always tried to find used textbooks that were as clean as possible so I could do all my own highlighting!
I like my books to look like new even when read but when I was studying I annotated away but in my mind that is a different kind of reading. I have one friend who I lend books to (I know I can trust her) but have found little notepaper in the book where she has been making notes which breaches the gap nicely.
I keep mine as clean as possible!! Especially when studying. (No notes, no highlighting increases the resale value of a textbook.)
I keep mine pristine. In college I used to hate buying used books but did it and tried to find the ones with the least notes. I considered notes and highlighting distracting because no two people think alike anyway.
I don't write in books, but I love the highlight feature on the Kindle. I used to highlight and write in the margins in my college textbooks.
