The plugin reads the database on the device. If there are bookmarks/annotations/highlights in there for books in your calibre library, they will be fetched. Someone has told me that the Kobo firmware reads the bookmarks already in PDFs and displays them in annotations list on the device. But, I haven't been able to reproduce this. Including with a file they gave me.

What I meant was that you can tap the top-right corner of the screen when reading a PDF and add a bookmark. Then, in the annotations list for the PDF, you can add an annotation to the bookmark. Because of that, I can't ignore the PDFs when fetching the annotations.

I'll wait then. I have the 1.4.8 version but Calibre tells me the last version is 1.4.7. Which one do I use for the test?
I'd like it with 1.4.8. Then I can compare this to the changes I'm planning to see if it helps.

Nevermind, I forgot to restart Calibre in debug mode...
Which is something that I would never, ever do. And, wondering why the code changes I just made didn't do anything and then noticing I hadn't actually saved them, that's another thing I never, ever do. More than once an hour.
