Hi,

I'm having trouble keeping track of relevant passages, in relevant works, on various topics. A lot of the time these passages are relevant to smething I expect to return to, but can't work on just yet.

My current reader, Clearview, keeps its own bookmarks and notes, but can't keep too many bookmarks or notes. Many other readers either don't support my scrolling tools, or don't support bookmarks, or re-process files to attach bookmarks.

I'm thnking about adding yet another Calibre column, and using it to list projects and relevant pages.

My 1st concern is that I have rsi, and this can be a lot to type. My 2nd concern is that epubs and mobis don't usually come with page numbers. My 3rd concern is that with regular bookmarks, it's a lot easier to get to the relevant pages.

Have any of you tried something similar?

Thanks!
