Only a small percentage of users are going to be willing to put up with issues of DRM removal and format shifting. Of those an even smaller percentage takes advantage of the note taking features of the reading app. So there is very little incentive to the developers of those apps to implement importing this data from their competitors, even when it is technically possible.

Yes, that's the subject. I gave Internet browsers as an example. At least this can be at ePub books.
