Yes, annotations made to PDF files can be easily exported as PDFs and viewed on other devices. Check out post #9 and #11 by gimble on the following thread. In post #11, gimble has uploadedtwo PDF files: one shows the document before annotations, the other shows it after it has been annotated with highlights, scribbles and side notes:

I wouldn't say that it frequently crashes, just that it has, on more than one occasion which might be due to the book itself or my frequent use of lookup dictionaries. It certainly doesn't do it every time I read. But it does do it occasionally so it is something to be aware of.

I have no idea what would happen if I were taking notes/making annotations when/if such a crash occurred. Hopefully, I will never find out.
