In that case, get a device that does. Problem solved.
Answering in reverse order...

I have crates of old devices that allow me to enter and save text - the Kobo is the latest toy.

ePub is open source/specification so the most susceptible to tweaking/hacking. Because nobody seems to have come up with this idea and either marketed it or made it freely available is challenge enough.

The Kobo allows annotation of both PDF and ePub - I find drawbacks with PDFs that are answered in using ePub.

"Dead tree" diary makers still seem to be in business - seems to be something missed by ePub authors - though I have found a few decorative calendars.
