I'm a software developer specialising in database work, so no prizes for guessing that my solution is custom. I wrote a system to catalogue my collection of paper books, and now also cataloguing ebooks, and the catalogue allows for summaries and reviews etc. (I do use Calibre to store my ebook collection - much easier than writing my own interface to my Kobo and so on - but most management etc takes place in my own database.)
I've grown to really like having a database of my own reviews. Memory can be tricky. It's not even an age related thing, it's just slippery - something that those who keep a diary come to understand as they correct their friends and family. Anyway, the point is that writing a brief summary and review at the time I finish both helps to cement the book in my mind and also gives me a more reliable guide for future reference that I have found very helpful.
