№ 01 · Why this exists
For the person who reads with a pen.
The passage that stopped you is gone a month later unless it lives somewhere you can find it. Each entry here holds the passage, its topic, the source and page, what you make of it, and the numbers of the entries it talks to.
A filled guide sits at the front, one worked page per section, so you see each page in use before you write in it. It sits beside the Zettelkasten System: this book keeps other people's words, the Zettelkasten turns your own into notes.
№ 02 · Inside the system
Every passage, two taps from its topic.
The entries, the topic index, the sources, a theme page and notes. Tap a thumbnail to look closer.
The Index
Any passage, two taps away.
One row per topic and the entry numbers after it, so nothing you copied out is lost in the pile.
The Theme
Where the reading becomes yours.
When several entries circle one idea, gather them on a theme page and write what they add up to.

№ 99 · Questions
Things you’ll want to know.
Will this work on my device?
Yes. It is a hyperlinked PDF sized to the writing surface, and it works across reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox, Supernote and Goodnotes on iPad, 19 models in all. Pick your device above to see it on yours.
What languages are available?
Six: English, Deutsch (German), Español (Spanish), Français (French), Nederlands (Dutch) and 中文 (Chinese). Choose yours with the language selector above and the PDF you receive is written in it. Same file, same price, in every language.
What is a commonplace book?
A notebook of passages worth keeping, copied out under topics so they can be found again. Over time the topics start to talk to each other, and that is where your own thinking begins.
How is it different from the Zettelkasten System?
A commonplace book keeps other people's words, filed by topic with their source. A Zettelkasten turns your own ideas into linked notes. Many readers keep both: passages here, the notes they spark there.
What happens after entry 160?
Start a second copy at entry 161. The numbers, topics and see-also links carry on from one book to the next.
What languages is it in?
English for now.
Is this a one-time purchase?
One-time. You keep the files. No subscription, no renewals.
Do I tap the links with the pen or a finger?
A fingertip. Tabs, index rows and page links are followed by tapping them, and on a reMarkable the Marker draws rather than navigates, so a tab tapped with the pen leaves a mark on the page instead of turning it. Tap with a finger and it works every time.
Will it show up under Templates on my Scribe?
No, and no bought planner can: the Templates list on a Kindle Scribe is closed to files you add yourself, on every model. Yours arrives as a hyperlinked PDF and lives in your Library beside your books and documents, which is where you open it and write on it. Send it across with Send to Kindle so the links and the colour survive, and keep your download as the master: the Scribe cannot duplicate PDF pages on the device, so when you want a clean one you send a renamed copy over again.
