It seemed to work with all books with annotations copied to the comment field but one. After adding the synopsis part to the comment field, where the annotations was already copied to using Annotation program, and then updating the metadata of the the book on the device, the annotation text ended up in the synopsis field together with the synopsis.

What can have happened? And only for one of the books. This is why I assumed that there must be some sort of categorizing code in the comment field, telling calibre/device which text is synopsis and which is annotations (or other text).

The strange thing is that for other books that I had copied the annotations to the comment field, only the synopsis text was updated to the synopsis field in the book on the device.
