I've been dreaming about that for years, but with my 10-year-old Nook, never got that far.
Thanks a bunch!

Personally, I would prefer the Libra H2O over the Paperwhite. Part of this though is a preference for Kobo's open system compared to Amazon's locked down system. It makes it easier to play with my toys. For reading PDF's the larger screen is a better choice.
For annotations from a library book, a Kobo ereader does keep your annotations but this requires the automatic download of a preview for the book to tie those annotations to. You can also copy the annotations from the Kobo to your computer using the annotations plugin for calibre (a one way transfer only). That calibre plugin will also copy annotations from a Kindle but I've never tested that functionality.
You might notice that calibre gets mentioned rather often. IMO, it's one of the two must have applications for using an ereader.
