What are the pros and cons of having bolded keywords and key phrases in a book that will have electronic and printed editions? Pros are obvious: easier to skim for key ideas, more emphasis key points, easy to revisit most important parts But what are the cons?

The reader may have a different idea of what’s key and you don’t want to interfere with independent judgment. Comprehension flow is very individual. Put your own highlights and key points in chapter end notes if you must.

I'm thinking just the first mention of each keyword that I introduce, like "placeholding" or "intermediate packets." That should be very sparse and not interfere with judgment too much
