yes, this is what Davidfor is saying, cf. also post 3.If you would like to have the annotations and highlighted passages in a seperate file you can also try the tool referred to at this post. It is for Windows.

NO, the annotations are only copied to the calibre library. The annotations on the device are not affected at all. If someone finds they are, please report it as it is a bug.

The problem that I was referring to is that there is no way to copy the annotations back to the device from calibre. The annotations are added to the text in the comments of the metadata. There isn't enough information to recreate the appropriate records on the device.
