Only a single bookmark, which might be anything to hand, though I've some from the book depository. I've used string, tissue, ribbon, scrap of paper, folded post-it note etc and even a thin cup mat, because I'd not set a book open upside down.

I've used hiighlighters and ball point pen in the olden days when proofing technical docs and years ago for novels. Now I proof & annotate (with text) on a Sage and import to text editor via Calibre. My Elipsa is boxed up to give away or sell. Too heavy for novels and not good enough for PDFs. The Notebooks work better on Sage, but I no long use the Nebo Notebooks on Kobo Sage either, just read & annotate text. I use TCL nxtpaper 11 for notebooks and PDFs and it's so good I got a Nxtpaper 40 phone (not 5G model).

I've loads of eink, (one Android, also had/have Nook, iRiver, Sony, Kindle, Kobo), phones, tablets, computers etc. I do backups, but don't use Sync.

My exported annotations have the context of the book, chapter, % in book and the highlight. I make sure to highlight plenty. They were copy/pasted into Notepad++ (tab per file and sessions) but now KATE.
