On either the PocketBook or Tolino, page numbers will be the same and the layout will be the same. If I buy from Smashwords (non-DRM) this "standard" will also apply to my Kobo, Sony, Tolino, PocketBook and Nook.
Unlike the Elipsa (which is marketed as a note taking device) I can mark-up and save the marked-up pages in my PocketBook Touch HD3 (and copy them to my computer). As far as I can I tell, I can do this with any format (except DjVu). (Mark up is not a feature I normally use.) This is why the limitations of the Elipsa seem really odd to me. It seems much more limited than a standard PocketBook reader. (I would like to test these features, but didn't bring the HD3 with me to Texas, so it will have to wait another 10 days or so.)

marking up with a pen or typed text? Because typed would be easier and I think there's a way to export those notes (not officially but using calibre or something).
One of the issues with writing on an epub (or kepub) is the reformatting. It seems that kobo has dealt witht his by remembering where you made the note. If you change formatting there is an indicator of where the note was made and if you click on it it shows you a window with the original text/formatting/note and a button which lets you reset the formatting to what you had it at when the note was taken).
They explain how they do it on their how-to page:
