I'll often type in my phone memorable quotes as well as thoughts that occur to me in the midst of reading. I can be fairly forgetful, so it's nice to be able to hold on to ideas and feelings I might want to express later. But I don't often write down notes for the sake of bettering my comprehension or memory of a work, if that's what you're asking.

Great answer senpai. Great answer.

If you ever feel like buying and e-reader most will allow you to highlight text and save it in a collection of quotes.

as for op's question if it's my own copy, which is usually a pre-owned paperback, then I often highlight, underline, or make notes while reading.

When my phone wasnt a broken piece of shit I would type notes on it and then use those to annotate the book when it was done days later. It refreshed my memory on it and I'm able to connect things and pick up on other subtleties.

Now I just carry a piece of paper and mark whatever sentences or thoughts on the pages and write them and annotate later. It's a good memory exercise and it feels like Im rereading and absorbing all the KNAWLEDGE.

I do this too. Then when I'm bored and want something for my brain to chew on or if I'm alone at the bar I'll pull out my phone and read through memorable quotes and aphorisms.

Only with textbooks

Don't see a point doing it with literature, unless you're a lit major.

this. if you're reading for enjoyment you have all the time in the world to think about themes and let them resonate with you over time. if you're a lit major you have to write notes/marginalia to keep track of the hundreds of pages you're reading per class. you don't have the leisure of letting things develop over time - you have to rapidly identify them
