Thank you!

I'm not sure about annotations, but for books IIRC the Reader just keeps a reference to the original book file - so you can't delete the original file.
Aside: what I used to do was actually use Calibre to store the books. So I added every book to Calibre (which copied it to a Calibre Library folder), then deleted the original file, and then in Sony Reader I added a reference to the file in the Calibre Library. This saved having multiple copies of books and not being sure which one was "correct" or not. (I also tweak books using Sigil to correct metadata and typos..)
If you're curious, run the Reader software and then the Activity Monitor application. Select the Reader app in the Activity Monitor display and then the (i) icon in the toolbar. Go to the "Open Files and Ports" tab and you will see what files the app actually has open.
A lot of the files will be things like GUI libraries and stuff which isn't very interesting, but you will also see any plists or databases the program has open.
I've deleted my Sony Reader software now that I no longer (can) use the reader hardware. Kobo doesn't need a kernel extension or browser plugin, unlike Sony.
