I think the books you read and your annotations should definitely be protected. Imagine reading about Tienanmen Square in China.

Simply purchasing/owning a book on that topic would be enough for an oppressive government like China, they wouldn't need to know where in the book you were exactly.

Some books sold in China are edited for that market. If you highlight a passage that shouldn't be in your book, you could be in trouble.
