a feature i would LOVE to see is one that lets me highlight a word or phrase, add an annotation, and then have that annotation appear for every occurrence of the phrase throughout the entire book… like a persistent, custom glossary or dictionary.
say i’m reading a sci-fi book full of proper nouns or made-up sci-fi terms. the character Chet Jawline mentions that the Klezmer drive on their Dingleberry-class ship has failed and now they’re lost in the Hemorrhoid nebula and need to wait for Blasto Laserman to come rescue them.
i’d like to be able to highlight the term “Chet Jawline”, type an annotation like “captain of the Bollocks VII; mortal enemies with Blasto Laserman” — and then any subsequent appearance of that term in the book, i can tap on it and see my little note to remind me who the guy is or where the place is. or maybe even just navigate to a virtual page/chapter to read through my glossary, then go back to the page i had been reading.
