You nailed it. The problem with marking books is you end up making a mess that eventually is meaningless. Plus other people might want to use your book for different reasons. Imagine what library books would look like if people did this? A notebook where you just "link" to the page and paragraph works a million times better.

Nothing!😁. It belongs to YOU! I hope when my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren inherit all my books, they will know me even better from my comments highlighting in my books. I think they will feel blessed to connect with me after I am gone. Speaking from the grave………
I buy soft cover books from second hand stores and now on Amazon with Crypto gift cards specifically to analyse them and write my own notes in them, expanding ideas triggered by the read text. I have had really profound insights about life through doing this! "Ah ha" moments of realisation pop in often enriching my own life experience! Books and what they contain are spring boards into a more meaningful life.
I often write to the authors, too, thanking them and commenting on what I was given through the words that were shared. This only adds to the profound experiences I receive through books.

What could possibly be wrong with me writing in my own book?!😵💫

Nobody should write in a library book, obviously. But writing in the margins is a healthy way to interact with a book.
