Bluefire Reader is a free eBook reader software that lets you add and export highlights and bookmarks to an eBook. So when you find something important, you can highlight it with default yellow color. And to add some useful information, you can select a particular text and add the note. The next time you will open the same eBook, it will show all the added notes and highlights separately at the left section. You can also export your notes and highlights as plain text file.
