My notes would be of little use to you. Firstly, they're in my handwriting which even I find hard to read occasionally, so I don't have them electronically. Secondly, you've missed the point, in that it is the act of processing the information in the CBKs so that you can condense it down that aids the learning process. Just passively reading the material or a summary of the material won't get you there. Your attention will drift within 20 minutes of opening the textbook. So what you probably need to do, is read the chapter or part thereof, take 5 minutes, do the self test, take 5 minutes, score the self test and check your correct/incorrect answers, take 5 minutes, get out your notepad and force yourself to precis a CBK down to 4 pages of handwritten text, taking 5 minutes every half hour. Then reread your notes, take 5 minutes, then do another self test. Then investigate anything you got incorrect, go back and reread those parts of the CBK and annotate your notes.
And so on until you get through all the CBKs.
This is to take advantage of the consolidation effects of taking a break rather than staring at a textbook page. You could even try studying different CBKs in different locations, as a different location can aid recall.
Another reason for doing it on paper is to remove all distractions. You can't go surfing the net or playing with your smartphone if you're sat on your own with just a text book, pen and paper.
Hope that makes sense.
