I use it for both types yeah. I basically try not to ever forget anything I hear that’s useful.
On Save All you can create cards that are just statements, no need to turn them into Q&A. So if I hear an interesting fact I usually just dump it in quickly verbatim.

I use (or more precisely, abuse) Cloze Deletion. Text goes in, you chose which parts to hide, it creates multiple cards for you, each hiding the parts you chose. In my experience it is the most efficient way to create new cards.
However, I’d be very interested in learning how people use SRS for remembering information they read on books/articles. Do you state new concepts as Q/A? Do you save interesting facts, or things you think might be useful in the future?
I think this second type of information is not well suited for flashcards. The article seems to imply it is, though, and I’d love to be wrong about it.
