For sharing the books afterwards, ideally I want to give them to that other person on an USB stick (or as a shared cloud folder), and I want the person to be able to read those books (including my highlights and comments) as easy as possible.
Therefore, it should be possible for the other person to open the USB stick (or the shared cloud folder), see that list of books, double-click on any of the book's names, and then be presented with the book including all highlights and comments ready to read.
Which eBook format would be the best to use for that scenario, and what would be the best software to read and annotate those books on Android (potentially as well on Windows)?
Thanks heaps already for tips
Cheers

If one is interested in the answer of Werkheimer's question:
Which eBook format would be the best to use for that scenario, and what would be the best software to read and annotate those books on Android (potentially as well on Windows)?
but with "Android" replaced by "iOS", then I have a suggestion that I am personally practicing. And when I share my highlights and annotations, I can do it on a per-book basis. I can also see all annotations via a web browser too. The app's name is
MapleRead. Too bad the app does not run on other platforms (yet?)
The Google Play solution should work for iOS too, but it sounds like an all-or-nothing sharing scheme, which is not what I want in the first place.
