Does the Pocketbook embed annotations inside the PDF? I would think it more likely that it saves them as ancillary data, similar to how the Kindle does, and I assume any reader does to EPUB or mobi7/8.

Assuming that is the case... you can pretty much give up now. Annotations support in ebooks is haphazard and there is no transferrable standard.

Unlike PDF annotations which has had a lot more time to mature.
