You might be on to something with your different ways to focus.

I'd love to use a tool (in-browser perhaps? or an app for tablets?) where I could:

- load/import reading material from various sources (typically web articles or ebooks)

- efficiently edit in-place (with a trace of the original content, google-docs-like),

- annotate words or paragraphs,

- classify the content for future reference (a sort-of Mendeley bibtex builder, as opposed to simple bookmarks)

- auto-formatting for "pretty-printing" (thinking about the reader mode in browsers there)

- perhaps with the option of sharing that content, or allowing for comments on my annotations (here I am thinking about goodreads and how authors themselves can answer questions about the books directly)
