It is a proprietary solution and doesn't have truly universal support.

For what you describe in your first post, the only current solution would be:
  1. Convert the books to ePub
  2. Read the ePub and make your comments
  3. Manually edit the original ePub, or better yet a copy of it, and enter your comments as either in-line text or as end notes.
  4. Convert the edited ePub to AZW and perhaps the older MOBI.
You now have distribution files. Kindles can't read ePub so you would need to have both ePub and AZW/Mobi available in order to have a truly universal "library".
