What would you say is the best tool for reading monograph.
Notes Tool and why?
Clippings and why?
Hi Lukas —
It comes down to personal preference and what you are using the notes or clippings for. I use highlights/notes when I want to see something in context. I highlight using a color of preference for the type of highlight so that they stand out in my notebooks (yellow for monographs, green for Bible, etc.). Then if I make a note, I will also put my own searchable inline tag, though you can use Logos tags for this. My current inline tags are: .insight .concept .claim .? .zettle .quote. The reason I use inline tags is that I export these highlights and notes to Capacities to combine them with Kindle, Snipd and other highlights from Readwise. The inline tag is universal in all services that I use, so I can do global searches in my exported highlights regardless of which platform they came from.
I use clippings when I want to build quotes with ready-made citations that I plan to use in my writing. (papers, talks, posts) I do this when I need clear quotations with page refs. I don't use them so much now that I am not engaged in formal studies. I think of clippings like the old-style note cards we used to use in University. When I used them to write papers, I would export all my clippings to DevonThink, along with other books I had been reading, and then I would start building my papers from these cards. In this use case, clippings were better than highlights for more formal outputs.
Experiment and play with both… I personally would love it if Logos would allow us to sync highlights to Readwise like Kindle does, but for now, it is a manual operation for me.

But on the desktop app, the text skips several lines and it seems to be designed that way. Here's a…

Is there a way to copy and paste into google docs without the formatting getting messed up? I can copy paste into word and then copy and paste that into docs, but that is labor intensive. If I try to paste directly into docs it adds a ton of extra spacing and tabs. I have tried changing the paste options to "other" and…
