One of the main advantages of the 600 reader, at least for me, is that it supports annotations. However, I would like to be able to own my annotations. By owning I mean being able to retrieve the annotations and see then in different readers or, at least, in some general purpose software.
I understand that you can see the annotations in Sony's desktop software. But does it have some kind of export feature?

For example, I use Xournal to annotate PDF files in my desktop. Xournal can export a PDF version with the original file + annotations so that I can send it to anyone that can read PDF. The person would not need to have Xournal installed to see the annotated files. I am a university professor. I great deal of my work in based on reading and annotating what I read. It is important to me to be able to send annotated version of my files to third parties (students, colleagues).
