How the hell do you guys learn from books you have on your computer?

It usually involves reading the words on the screen.

I crop passages of text I like and save them in a word document.
After I finished reading the book, I just have the notes that I can read w/e I need and refresh the contents of the book.
It's usually taking less time to do all this compared to classical paper books, pens and notebooks.
I can google search, dictionary search etc terms I don't understand.. it's pretty fast and efficient to do it on computer.

Write down notes on paper while reading the pdf file. If I just read the file without writing stuff down then I learn nothing.

For programming books I write down the examples and then go to the exercises and do some of them. It's better to practice writing and reading code than spending 100s of hours reading "writing about code". Dunno why these modern programming books are written like biology books.

Read them and do problems.

I read them

I don't, I just collect them (and occasionally refer to them if I need).
I only work with actual paper books or articles I've printed. I really have trouble working with a computer next to me

Drop them on an ereader, read there. I can't get reading done around computers.

Print them out and read them.

If they aren't heavy material, just read them on the screen.

I can't. Only ever read physics books.
