I’m team e-ink not because of the quantity of books or anything, but because I make a comical amount of notes in my books and the second I had unlimited writing space versus writing in margins was eye-opening
Depends on the book. For really dense fiction it’s to theory-craft/make sense of the world and characters/allegiances within it.
For non-fiction it’s usually questions to explore later/see if they are answered as my knowledge grows.
It can also be fun on re-reads to see where my headspace was at the time. I’ve been doing this for probably 8ish years now so it can be fun to look back and see how I’ve grown.
I’ve also jailbroken my kindle so adding additional dictionaries/lookup sources has been extremely beneficial.
I’m on team boomer in this one.

I prefer to read “real” books for the tactile experience but I almost always read on my e-reader because it’s so damn easy to pirate books onto it
Do you go back and read your notes later, or do they just help you process?
