Abstract	This study first explores intermediate-level EFL learners ’ preferences for hypermedia annotations while they are engaged in reading a hypermedia text for general comprehension. Second, it examines whether there is a relationship between reading comprehension and the amount of annotation use. Finally, it investigates the effects of specific types of annotations on reading comprehension. The participants were 44 EFL adult learners studying English for Academic Purposes. Data were collected through a tracking tool, a reading comprehension test, a questionnaire, and interviews. Results indicate that learners preferred visual annotations significantly more than textual and audio annotations. On the other hand, a negative relationship was found between annotation use and reading comprehension. Especially, pronunciations, pictures, and videos were found to affect reading comprehension negatively. However, the qualitative data revealed that the participants had positive attitudes towards annotations and hypermedia reading in general.
