I love the 'q' initiation. It's a great way to stop spamming the crap out me - like others, I tend to highlight and click as I read, partly because if I get distracted by something else, I can easily see where I left off. Regarding user education: Perhaps you could have some kind of timer, where if a piece of text remains highlighted for a long period, you pop up a small div saying 'did you know...?'. Or, at the top left of the screen, there's a small div saying 'sws enabled' which offers more when you mouseover? This is really, really awesome.
