Yes, but: the annotations are saved in a sidecar file, and not saved with the PDF. So if open the PDF on your computer, your notes won't show up as annotations in that application. The notes are also in a text file, 'my clippings.txt' which contains all of the notes for everything on your Kindle, but... it would be nicer if they were more portable in a PDF workflow.
Entourage EDGE should do a better job at least in theory, but it is more expensive, and not sure how good the support is or if they are going to survive.
Then there's iPad...
The forthcoming Sony readers have touchscreen+stylus and PDF capability. Not sure if these annotations are saved with the PDF either, though.
