I would consider this approach to be a last resort.
Well, not exactly: you can select and highlight text and add notes, just as with the Kindle app. But this text is not accessible by web inspector, so I assume that is why the extension has to OCR page images.

For graphic novels it would be fine (no OCR needed), but I don't know if the extension has special handling for that.
