People enjoy the sensual and physiological properties of physical books as well as the ease of creating bookmarks and annotations. However, an abundance of annotations can be distracting from the reading experience. With the introduction of e-books, sharing annotations has enabled reading to have a social context, which research has shown to benefit learning and understanding. Using a research through design approach we developed Markitup: a crowdsourced reading tool that enables individuals to read and annotate in a collaborative environment and benefit from the knowledge of the crowd. We found that participants appreciated the combined advantages of the physical artefact, the flexible digital annotations and the social learning context. \
