Very nice.
I feel like there was a missed UI opportunity with the pagemarks and annotations: When you add your page marks, the percentage bar at the top increments, but there is no easy way to jump to where you were last reading. Likewise, if you add multiple pagemarks, if e.g. you've read multiple sections, there is no way to know this from the progress bar.
Instead of highlighting the progress bar at the top, I would just highlight the scrollbar on the right. This would (1) free up space at the top, (2) make it trivial to jump to where I was reading last, because I would just click on that spot on the scroll bar, (3) make it obvious if I have marked multiple page marks, and (4) open that pattern up for other uses, such as marking on the scroll bar where I have made annotations (which are presumably very important passages).
I am thinking of the scrollbar in an IDE. For instance, in VS Code, I can see all the lines with errors etc directly on the scroll bar, and I can click on those marks to instantly jump to that section.

I think we could solve that by migrating to another visualization. I'll have to mock it up. I had thought of this but of course Polar is very MVPish right now.. but getting to the point of being a real product her soon. The problem with highlighting on the right is that it's hard to do multiple columns but maybe I could have a full page visualization on the right.
