I've seen several people comment on the difficulty of note-taking, but I'm not sure how other people are doing it... do you double-tap-and-drag in the normal reading mode and then hit the highlight button to create the highlight, then tap on the highlight for annotation input options? That's the quickest way I know of.

To answer the OP (annotating is the same on the 350), I find using the stylus preferable, as it's much more precise than the finger. I've made highlights and notes in several books for my studies, and find it a quick and painless process -- it's definitely won me over to touchscreen-capable devices. The one downside is probably the handwritten notes, the Sonys are a bit slow for that. Also, I haven't experimented with exporting notes onto the computer, so I can't comment on that process.
