As a non-regular-Bible-reader, I'm curious what notes you would take on the actual pages themselves?
Given the density of the text and small margins in most Bibles, how much information could you write down against any particular verse or sentence?
I don't tend to write in mine. I used to and realized that pretty soon I'd have writing all over every page sooner or later. Notes for bible reading go in a dedicated journal.
Just for kicks, I took an old Cambridge printing of the bible (it's pretty roughed up already), and made a small mark on the title page. No feathering at all, but the bleed through is almost total. Cambridge paper is very thin but very high quality. Cambridge has some of the best paper I've ever seen a bible printed on except maybe for a bible I have printed by the Lockman Foundation. But therein lies the rub. Bible paper is special paper for printing, not for writing. I'd stick with a ball point for writing in a bible.
There are also editions of the Bible (in whatever version you prefer) that have a large margin around the text. The print is the same size, but the pages themselves are larger. I have a Cambridge KJV with 1 inch margins given to me by a friend who didn't know I don't like to write in books.As a non-regular-Bible-reader, I'm curious what notes you would take on the actual pages themselves?

I'm not a bible person, but can't help thinking that a pencil would be the tool for the job. You can erase it if you make a mistake, but it'll never fade on the page, nor bleed through, nor feather.
