Thanks everybody for the warm welcome. I did in fact post this situation in the PRS-900 forum as soon as I (being a newbie here) found that forum. So maybe some ideas will come out of there.

I'm using my new e-reader every day, actually, and liking it more, though I'm still frustrated about the limitations I talked about. I tried converting all my PDFs to ePubs using Calibre, but the results were inconsistent (sometimes fine; sometimes unreadable, depending on the complexity of the source PDF).

I'm thinking that it may be safe to keep the PDFs on my PRS900 along with my ePub files after all, as long as I only annotate the latter. I think the machine simply gets mixed up when you try to annotate both file types.

We'll see. Anyway, thanks for the input, and I hope to post again soon.
