I get date and percentage read along with any bookmarks, but only occasionally for a few books. I read a book to 100%, go to Home, connect to Calibre, Fetch annotations, and then look at the book and it has no annotations. What is the trick to get this to work? Do you have to completely turn off the Kindle to get it to store the annotation data, or what?

This is a $79 Kindle bought in Dec 2011, Version Kindle 4.0.1.

Why is the Fetch Annotations option labeled as Experimental? This is a really useful feature to have the annotations in the library, especially if mulltiple readers mess each other's last page read info online, because Calibre will keep track of it. But it is driving me crazy because it seems to only work sometimes and I can't figure out any pattern to what makes it work. Thanks.
