A fun example of annotation is the novel S by Doug Dorst in collaboration with J.J. Abrams.

A good recommendation! I don't grasp if the colors and fonts are meaningful yet. It reminded me of the game Dear Esther [1], a world exploration game with narrated comments on a life's story.

The different pen colours correspond to different readings of the book by the margin characters.
