Others can correct me, but the way I understand it after skimming through the development document is that the scribbles are stored in the metadatabase and it's the association with the file that allows putting the scribbles back where there were when the PDF is opened again.
In other words no, they're not saved as part of the PDF and the device transferred to would need to be able to interpret the same scribble data. (Unlikely unless it's another IREX reader.)
Does any device actually alter the PDF with annotations? Wouldn't that be a problem with Adobe Digital Editions DRM? Or do they only alter non-DRM PDFs?
