As is, not working with DRM PDFs and not saving notes for KePubs anywhere but on the Elipsa, seems to negate the whole point of the mark-up features. I think I read somewhere that the mark-up doesn't work at all on standard ePubs (or am I mixing this up with something else?).
Not being able to annotate protected PDFs that don't allow annotations or highlighting is completely and utterly normal. Adobe Acrobat Pro even won't allow you to do that without removing the security with the password and any program that does is going outside PDF spec. At least for academic journal articles protected PDFs are not common.

ePub limitations are worse and kind of dumb but it's not that surprising since Kobo restricts how much you can copy out of a book to something absurd like 3 sentences (incredibly annoying!). I'm guessing this was some sort of publisher pleasing move. Can't have folks exporting a page or two of a 500 page book...
