Just start the program, chose SD disk, 'scan free space' and choose 'txt' file as the type of files you want to recover.

Look through the bunch of recovered text files with incrementally increased file size and check if they contain book titles.

I use lftp to mirror my books folder on Kobo SD card and the other day I forgot to put -R switch so the upload and download operations were messed up, which resulted in the exact same situation you mentioned, all latest annotations were gone. But I managed to recover the *.lua book info files by the method above.

Good luck!
Thank you mate. Unfortunately I'm just using Calibre, so I don't think your suggestion applies in my case.

I've just copied the sqlite database, I've found the bookmarks of the main storage, but not the annotations. Anybody knows where they are?

So many bugs with this Kobo :/
