This is actually the biggest reason I own a Remarkable 2/Kindle Scribe, let's me "destroy" the book while also not having to worry about losing my notes.

Honest question: How confident are you that you'll have access to those notes on your Remarkable/Kindle 20 years from now?

I love my Kobo. I highlight stuff with it. But for anything really important, I then go to my computer, go through each highlight, and make notes in my org file.

(I probably should automate it - I know tools exist to extract all that metadata from the Kobo).

Well... I'm mostly back to paper after losing most of the notes I had taken on my own Remarkable 2.
