Quick answer
Use per-book notes only when the mark will help you later. Do not mark every interesting sentence.
Per-book notes keep your own explanation close to the source.
A simple study rule
Before marking, ask: “What will I do with this later?”
If you only need to remember the passage exists, highlight it. If you need to remember why it matters, add a short note in your own words.
Keep marks limited
A page covered in highlights is hard to review.
Use one normal highlight for most important passages. Add extra styles only when each style has a clear meaning.
Write useful notes
A good note can be one sentence: “This supports the main argument because…” or “Check this against chapter 4.”
Avoid copying the whole paragraph into the note.
Review with context
When you return to a mark, read the nearby sentences too.
A quote can mean something different when it is separated from the argument around it.
