If you flip through one of my old case books, it's a very ROYGBIV experience.

2) Notation which appears in the margins. I like to write margins in the notes.

3) Able to do my own indexing.
My thoughts exactly. I did something very similiar to get through undergrad, and margin notes are a must.

Not to mention, I'd get tired of staring at a screen all day.
