@Shane R, @Philanthrop's point was that ebook readers, including Marvin, iBooks and the Kindle app, don't actually change the contents of the original ebook when annotations are created. The annotations are stored outside of the ebook, as are bookmarks and your last location.
In order to actually modify the contents of an ebook so that annotations would appear to be a permanent part of the text, it would be necessary to use an ebook editor, but it doesn't make sense to do that for a number of reasons - the same reasons that it doesn't make sense to store bookmarks or your last location within the book.
Some ebook readers are capable of synchronizing annotations among multiple devices. That feature has been requested for Marvin.
