I think.
If not, and you think the notes are important, you can copy them into a word document and save them that way, before the book goes away.

I'm wondering about this too.
I'm glad they noted that we'll be able to highlight, etc, so they won't be restricted, like samples are.
But whether or not Amazon will have them up for us to see on our My Kindle stuff page in the cloud, or locally in our My Clippings file, without buying the book, will depend on a couple of things, I guess.
First, whether or not we've chosen the option to have our stuff backed up on the cloud to begin with. (I never have.)
Second, while I expect our highlights will stay in the "my clippings" file, just like they do for other deleted books, I'm not sure if bookmarks, notes will...?
Do our notes go into the My Clippings file, or just the .mbp file?
And I can't remember what happens with the .mbp file when we delete a book from the Kindle... does it always stay on the Kindle in case we put the book back on? I think it does.

Yes, I think the way it will work is that the only part Overdrive will play will be to send a request to Amazon to Send Book X to user Y, and Amazon will send it - the same book, same ASIN, just wrapped in the special, expirable, DRM always used by mobi. Just like with lended books.
It also sounds like it'll be sent to our
account, so it'll be in the archive, easily available for every device on the account. Otherwise, Overdrive would have to know our PIDs/Aps to send it to.
This is going to be so much easier than messing with ADE or Mobipocket PIDs.
