I greatly like tapping on highlights rather than longpress -- wish it worked in epubs too.

I do use annotations a lot, and making it easier to see them is a good idea. But, this is just not working for me. My reaction in the beta list to this was:

Found it. My reaction is: "OH GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The text is highlighted, which is an extremely clear indication that I have an annotation or highlight. And the text is underlined if there is an actual note. Nothing more is needed and it just clutters the interface. Tapping it does display the note. Which is OK. But, it covers the highlighted text.
If you want to do this, display the note in the dictionary popup (with some modification) when I do whatever is needed to display the menu. That lets me see the note, the dialog is a positioned so I can see the highlighted text and the usual options are available on the menu. And it should be possible to implement it in the epub reader as well.

Yes, a little over the top, but, it just doesn't work for me. I suppose I won't actually be seeing these while reading the book. I'll be adding an annotation and going to the next page. But, they don't actually help if I go back to look for a note or something. The highlighted text already makes it very obvious that something is there. The icon is redundant.
But, being over the top can have an affect, as the following was added to the firmware later...

I tried adding ShowNoteIndicators=false to both Reading and ReadingSettings and it had no effect, icon still showed up, so maybe that's not related?

It is:
Code:
showNoteIndicators=false
The case on both sides is important. And it goes in the "Reading" section.
