Thanks for the in-depth reply @davidfor, and the good tip about blocking the creation of the Digital Editions annotation file!

My Kobo is still creating ... ephemeral bookmarks. With the Digital Editions folder left to its own devices, they get deleted — but when I replace the author folder with an empty folder of the same name like you suggested, the invisible annotations stay in the DB until I plug it into my laptop and manually add ContentIDs with SQL. (It seems that only the ContentID needs to be set for bookmarks to show up; the change in annotation and date modified values may have some effect, but I haven’t found out what, if anything, it is.)

I hope Kobo releases a firmware update soon
