I need to be able to highlight and annotate with the stylus pretty much as quickly and easily as I can with pen and paper printouts. Otherwise I'll stick with pen and paper.
For me, it should allow pretty fine input, as I tend to write in 0.28mm pen or in sharpened pencil on paper. Otherwise, a fast unpinch-to-zoom or something similar in a document page could be a great compromise that allows me to annotate closer to the scale of the text.

Finger gestures can be fantastic for navigation and basic manipulation, but we need a good precision handwriting functionality too. No matter what though, it's gotta still be quick. If it's significantly faster and more convenient to write on paper, I'll write on paper. I got the "HaY Guyz I can ritez on m'PDA like paper LOL" affliction out of my system years ago. Whenever I see people talk about using annotation on an ebook reader device, my mind conjures images of the MacBook Wheel for some reason.

Edit: Hmm...for people who don't know what the MBW is...
