But when using note books you have to write twice as much because you also have to provide context for your notes. And people opening your books in 50 years' time won't be able to go "huh".
Not really. If you want to make a note in a notebook all you have to is write where the passage is that your referencing. For example "The Dragon Reborn Chapter 3 Page 110" or whatever. It's not that difficult. Besides, are you really expecting your notebook to still be around in 50 years? I'm not. They are there for personal reference only.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

Do you read with a pencil in hand?

I'll add notes in the margins of textbooks but not fiction or anything I read for enjoyment

I used to edit a literary magazine, so I would always be folding corners of pages
