You can annotate side loaded PDFs with highlights and notes, as always, just not with Sticky Notes (if they have text layer to highlight and attach notes to, of course).

But the weird thing is that the Kindle apps don't allow any annotation at all (apart from Bookmarks), even when they are sent to Amazon. They would do well to support that with a future update. If they want Kindle to be a note taking platform (Scribe is not a platform), it doesn't help their case by having gaps like this.

Amazon bought a stake in Foxit some years ago, I think that technology is what they're still using for PDF on Kindles, but don't know how to verify that.
