Make the Reader editable
Sankari Nair
We've been receiving mixed feedback on whether we should enable an edit mode for the Reader. We'd love your thoughts.
Our main concern is that it could create confusion between the Reader and the Notebook, and we feel that original content should remain untouched.
What do you think? Should the Reader support edits?

I think that the reader should have the bare minimum of editing available to it. By that I mean the ability to highlight text and to add comments. Maybe if you add a highlight and comment feature you could have the AI be able to read those as well and it can tell you that you what you thought was important.
The ability to link highlights and comments made in the reader to your notes would be interesting as well. That way you don't have to go digging for your previous thoughts.

I don't need the reader to be editable. But if you do it, I would create a window like: Are you sure you want to edit the source text? I would like to be able to easily copy the Reader with a simple copy icon and I would like to be able to select text and then add a comment that could appear in the notebook with a link back.

There source of the information in the reader should stay in the read only form as a robust reference. But I am desperate to have highlighting and commenting option in the reader. The solution may be the ability to copy-paste the reader content to the notebook for editing, highlighting, annotating, etc.

I think that adding an extra window with editable reader content (in addition to to read-only reader window, that could be called "original read only content") would do everybody.
Another thing i'd love would be to have editable full content also for pdf files (at the moment the read only reader doesn't even let us highlight text or select text to copy it elsewhere).

Probably a viable solution could also be to just add a "Add to Notebook" command for the reader content: in this way we could have inside the Notebook a collapsible window with reader content, another one with concise summary content, and another one with detailed summary content. At the moment i'm often just manually copying and pasting all reader content inside the notebook, and it would be definitely better to have a dedicated command for it.
