Jottings, for the book held open in one hand
A voice-annotation companion for physical books: read a passage aloud, speak your reaction, and save both together.

Field notes
The proposed workflow separates reading from reflection without requiring the reader to put down the book: holding captures the passage, releasing captures commentary, and tapping preserves the pair. Notes are grouped beneath their source book, with page numbers identified automatically. The privacy description says the page photograph is deleted after it is read, the voice is transcribed and discarded, and the saved passage-note pair can be exported. The homepage says the app remains under construction and is intended for a specific reading circle.
