Does anyone know of a tutorial/guide that I could use to set someone up for marking up documents digitally while #reading?

Here's what I mean:
I have a lot of students who only/primarily read digitally. They don't have printers, typically won't print out sources.

I've learned to work with that in a lot of ways, but *in class* we mark up sources on paper regularly, and I encourage students to take this action and apply it in their own reading at home. So there's a disconnect between the physical practice in the classroom and how some students are likely to do things at home.

I have all sorts of annotation tools for digital stuff, and notetaking tools that include PDF markup tools, but what I'm looking for is a guide that sets someone up for doing digital scribbling naturally, just as part of everyday reading for coursework: the best software to use, but also best practices, ways to make it more natural, easier.

Does anything like that exist?

@nw I'm using Readwise which is closed-source, hosted by the manufacturer, and costs money to be able to use.

Readwise has a 'reader' which is very similar to Pocket. Annotations can be synced to Obsidian via an Obsidian plugin.

Here's a product presentation page: readwise.io/read
