The original "% into chapter" information is misnamed for epubs anyway. It is correct for kepubs, but for epubs it really means "% into book". The work-around doesn't change that at all, but it prevents the chapter and % being corrupted when the book is reopened.

I haven't actually tried it with old annotations though, the way I use annotations is just to highlight errors in the book so I can correct them in the original. I delete each annotation as I make the correction, so in the end all annotations are gone.

The difference with the database annotations and the copy kept in the Annotations/ directory is that the database copy is deleted when the book is deleted, but the Annotations/ copy persists after the book is deleted, and the firmware will attempt to add the old annotations from the Annotations/ directory to a new book if it has the same filename.
