Description

### Problem

The short version is that I think it is confusing that
1. when you are on an edition page:
- The "want to read" button adds the _work_
- But the "note" button makes a note to the _edition_

2. When you are on a work page
- The "want to read" button still adds the work
- But the "note" button adds a note to whatever edition is visible

#### Evidence / Screenshot

#### Relevant URL(s)
- https://openlibrary.org/works/OL35720233W/You_Dreamed_of_Empires?edition=

### Reproducing the bug

1. Go to an edition page (that's not the main one you see when you visit the work)
2. Add the book to want to read and add a note
3. Then click on a different edition page

* Expected behavior: The want to read indicator and the note are both there
* Actual behavior: The want to read indicator is there but the note is missing
