I tried doing this with Yurt to deploy the first chapter of Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan: https://themediumisthemessage.nicholaschen.io/posts/about.tx...
The main challenges are chunking the text so that the paragraphs actually encapsulate a concrete idea, so that the connections between them are valuable.
I generally don't take notes when trying to learn something, I usually like to be more hands on (by doing problems, making a project applying the principles, etc.) When I write it's usually to reflect, or to hash out a more open ended problem.
