I'm not sure what you are saying. But, the Annotations item should be on the menu whenever there is an annotation in the book. There isn't any need to wait for something to happen. The same goes for the sorting. I do the same as you do, and the order is always updated immediately.
There was a bug with opening some Pocket articles that triggered a reboot. It was fixed a few firmware versions ago. I don't know what firmware it started with. I haven't seen any reports of problems since then and definitely none with version 4.7.10413.

Yeah, I don't want to mess with it since it's worked for 3 years. Although I did think, if I want to experiment, my old glo is the one to experiment on, since it can be opened and have the internal sd card replaced, should I ever do anything really horrid to it. Unlike the Aura One.
What I am saying was that for a short time, things were NOT being immediately updated. I would be reading a book, decide to go to another book and when I initially went into My Books, the previous reading percentage ie: 4% was still there and if it wasn't the last book I had read before that session, it wasn't the first on the list. Staying on that page, it wouldn't auto-update those two things. However, if I changed to another page and then went back, the percentage would now read 6% or whatever and it would be first on the list. I was sort of experimenting and reading for short bouts testing various things, and I saw this happen at least 10 times.
HOWEVER, this only happened for a limited time (hours?) on the day I got it. Not at any other time since then. Now, it always behaves as expected and updates all information immediately.
IIRC it had at this point the most recent firmware (I did use it for a short spell, maybe an hour, on the original firmware as the internet was cutting in and out and so didn't get the new firmware downloaded or installed immediately). It never happens now. But my point was, if this page refreshing was failing at that point, the new menu item may not have been added. As you say, it always shows it immediately now. But the other latency I was seeing at the same time I was doing the annotations experiments is also gone. Doesn't matter too much, it works now.
Well, I definitely was on the newest firmware when I had that reboot happening. In my case, it was only after I tried to swipe to the second page. It had no problem opening it. But as it's no longer reproducible, it's probably not important. But nice to know that it
is pocket related and not my device being unreliable.
