I find them both to be extremely useful. For complex detective stories (my favourite reading matter) when some character pops up whom you've not encountered for 200 pages, it's very useful to be able to search for the name and see what they were last doing in the story. I create and proof-read a lot of ebooks, and use annotation extensively to note the errors that I find while I'm reading.
