I did all of those things a long time ago in college - long before the days of personal computers, much less ereaders. I believe that's what the OP is talking about; annotating academic texts while taking formal classes somewhere. I have to think what he wants to do would be a huge benefit during any non-trivial study.
Simply put, all the OP is asking is can an ebook be annotated in some ereader, and then the same ebook opened in an app on a different device - like a computer - and see the same markups as they appear on the reader.
Unfortunately, I have no clue how he can accomplish that goal. I don't know anything about the new ereaders like the Scribe, but from what I've gathered here on MR it probably won't work. Numerous threads here make me believe retrieving user-enterered information *in context* seems to not be possible with any of them, including Amazons, unless it is an identical model device. And maybe not even then.
It's the same problem that caused Amazon to pay off the high school student back in the
1984 deletion fiasco years ago. The student was doing a school report on
1984 and when Amazon deleted the book all his notes and reference links were broken - he had the notes but totally without context. Which made them useless.
