PDF reading pitfalls
Using Calibre to read EPUB format is best; you can enable dark mode and avoid staring at a white background like with Adobe PDF Reader
After finishing each small section, make a summary note. Highlighting inside the book isn't very meaningful and looks troublesome.
Pitfalls when using Adobe PDF Reader:
If multiple white horizontal stripes appear while scrolling the window, restart the software.
If scrolling pages with the mouse wheel feels slow when reading a PDF, move the mouse to the bottom of the page and select "Enable Scrolling" in the pop-up window (see picture)

When an input caret appears while reading a PDF,
press the Esc key to exit input mode, which makes it convenient to use the arrow keys to control page scrolling
