I have not heard of anyone doing this, but you should be able to share your annotations with any other Kindle owner. They are stored as plain text, and the location within the ebook is particular to that ebook edition but does not change between Kindles. The new sync capability may do this automatically for all Kindle's registered to a single account (although I am not sure about this).

I wonder if Amazon will eventually establish a resale market for Kindle ebooks. The only reason not to do so I can see is that it would annoy authors and publishers even more than they are now (e.g. with read aloud). Amazon is in a unique position to do this, because they have end to end control of the DRM and the Kindles. The ebook would be be deleted (by Amazon) from the sellers account and devices and authorized on the buyers account.
