I've been annotating for years now. I sticky note the page. Usually I only need a brief note on the sticky to jog my memory. If it's a useful passage, an important quote, etc.,, I sticky note those too.

Then, I drop the notes onto a Word document for that novel, including the page the quote/info is on in the book. The electronic search is extremely useful not just for keywords but also for reducing a 200-page book's stickies to one single document. "I know it was in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' I'm sure I stickied it. Let me read through a three-page document on my laptop."

Once in a while, you simply don't want to be "electronic."

so true that’s why i love writing out stuff instead of typing. i do almost all of my uni work online but i love to write or print out my notes and annotate them haha
