Sadly, you will not be able to "sync"--in the true sense of that word, a 2-way updating process--between Amazon cloud notes and Calibre.

ETA: Saw your question after I posted, yes by 'annotations' I mean broadly notes, highlights, and bookmarks. The Calibre annotations tools imports those to Calibre.

The best you could do is something like treat the notes that are in your Amazon cloud documents (whether in books purchased from them, or your own books uploaded to the personal docs area) as the 'source' of your notes. And periodically do the one-way sync to Calibre so that it has current copies of all your notes. Using the Calibre annotations function as sort of a local backup for your cloud-based notes. The obvious limitation with this 'backup' scheme is you could never get the annotations in Calibre back onto a device.
