Does anyone know if your bookmarks and annotations stay saved on your Kindle even after returning the ebook? It's all I really care about after having finished a book - saving my bookmarks/annotations for future reference.

At the end of the help section:

Bookmarks, notes, and highlights are all available on Kindle Owners' Lending Library titles, and will be saved to your Amazon.com account. Should you ever borrow or purchase the book in the future, your notes and highlights will be available for you.

What would be great would be a discount to purchase books you've already borrowed for free. Or just include book credits like Audible. Each year your Prime membership gives you 12 credits that can be used to purchase books.

I don't know for sure about this new prime lending in particular, but if it works the way the public library lending does, then the answer is 'yes'. With ebooks you check out from the library to your kindle, your bookmarks remain if you later check that same book out, or even purchase it.
