It would be nice to + make notes for books as well. + - A: Interesting question -- I've never considered doing it that + way. When there is a textbook I want to take notes on, I find + the PDF for the textbook and split it into one PDF file per + section or chapter, and then use those PDFs just like any other + PDFs. What do you like about EPUB files? +- Q2: How does pdf-tools not being maintained as it used to affect + you.

Is there some time in + the near future at which pdf-tools will stop working on the + current version of Emacs? I was not aware of that if that's the + case.

So far, I've only used org-roam as a simple knowledge-base. I would love to replicate what you showcased. Organized notes associated with pdf docs that you then generate Anki cards with.
