I don't search ebooks, annotate them, nor share said annotations, therefore the ability to do so adds zero value for me. I can also annotate pbooks, but I don't do that either, and neither do I factor that ability in when considering its potential worth to me.
People have different methods of determining worth. Personally, an electronic file (an ebook) has less intrinsic value to me than a solid object (a pbook).
