This made me remember a time I checked a book out from the library and found lots of little notes written in Chinese characters in the margins throughout the book. Most if not all were, I assume, translations of words. It was quite nice - they had wonderful penmanship.
It is just one tool among many for the acquisition and retention of knowledge.
I like used books with notes in it. It's interesting to see what someone previously reading felt was important or to glimpse into the past life of book itself.
