What do you call that in English?
While reading a book I summarize it on my notebook using curly brackets, arrows, underlines and the like. I wanted to search for software to make that easier and more manageable to me, but I wonder what you call it in English. I searched for "Summarizing software", "mind mapping software” already but they weren't the ones I wanted.
Thanks for your help in advance

Answer

If you are writing in the actual book, I personally would call those annotations, so in that case annotation software is probably what you are looking for. Usually those go hand in hand with E-books though.
If you are just doing regular note taking, there are a loot of programs you can use like the ones on this link:
