Sometimes text books come in standard ePub, but (again, apparently) the Elipsa mark-up feature doesn't work with standard ePubs either. A PocketBook will allow mark-up for any format (except DjVu) and will allow you to save the marked text to images (basically selected area screen grabs). I realize that the PocketBooks are not advertised as note takers (and would be mechanically inferior to the Elipsa), but it seems like the Elipsa could at least do as much with DRM PDFs and standard ePubs. Also, if I remember correctly, there's no way to save these marked-up notes anywhere but on the Elipsa — that, particularly, seems like a very odd limitation.

The Elipsa exports to Dropbox, at least. So it may be able to share more than you think, but I’ll need to see more in-depth reviews to know fully.
I wonder if Kobo running their own bookstore complicated licensing with Adobe. It seems that side-loading for reading will still work, but Adobe may consider a marked up PDF as a derivative work. But I’m just speculating. I don’t know enough about PocketBooks to speculate on the difference further.
I didn’t realize that markup only works on kepubs. Fortunately, I convert all epubs to kepubs, so I’ll not run into this issue. Other people may find that limiting, though.
