If you wanted to copy the annotations from a Kobo device to a non-Kobo device that wasn't based on the Adobe reader software you would need to convert them to a format the other device could use, but you would need to do that if you wanted to copy them from an Amazon device to another company's device too.

I think the point here is that if you switch from one kobo to another, or from a kobo device to a kobo app the annotations won't follow you
automatically. BUT...if I understand correctly, you can't switch to another kobo device or app and have the book available automatically either--you would have to plug your device into your computer and transfer it using ADE. With a Kindle library book you don't ever have to connect to the computer if you don't want to--the book is available in your Amazon cloud and you can download it from there, and it will automatically open to the place you were at on the other device, with any bookmarks or notes available. If you later decide to purchase the book, or take it out from the library again, the bookmarks and notes are all available.
