That's what I do when fixing books I am reading. I mark enough text to be able to find the problem and add a comment to describe what is wrong. Admittedly, I normally just work off the annotations list on the device, but this allows me to work from within calibre as well.

Thinking about how the plugin works, there is another possibility. For the Kindle devices, it reads a file called "My Clippings.txt". If he sends you that, you should get enough info to track down the problems. And it's possible that if you copy that to your Kindle, it will show the annotations in your device. I have a feeling that something else is needed, but it is worth trying. It does require that the book file names are the same on both devices. I don't have a Kindle device, so I can't test this.
