Some people choose to delete the preview (if you do, the annotations are irrevocably deleted too)

If you use this method, it means your "historical" book borrowing and your future book borrowing will be the same. If you don't use previews for other purposes (ie as a preview, to decide if you want to buy), then you could also then filter to just previews in your menu and then you'd have a list of all your borrowing history.
Ah of course, the previews, seems obvious now but didn't think to try it. That works beautifully, thanks!

I never looked into calibre thinking it wouldn't be useful for me but maybe it'll be a useful organizational tool nonetheless
