@readeck @ruben I think something along the lines of the Kindle UI is a good starting point. A row of highlight colours above with a note box beneath.
Therefore: select text → highlight+note box pops up → both are optional, so you can use a highlight or a note or both, all tied to the same text. This doesn’t allow notes ‘at a point’ but it should be a fair trade-off to have to select some text at least in order to attach a note.
Unattached notes are less useful, but better than no notes!

@vhbelvadi thanks! I don't own a Kindle and would be grateful for a screenshot :) @ruben

@vhbelvadi @ruben We're getting somewhere! Highlight will stay mandatory but there's now a transparent option (with only an underline). Still some rough edges but quite pleased with the end result already :)
