Other metadata like the book's title, author, etc. are passed into the database, but annotations metadata are not.

That annotations are not processed into the SQLite database makes sense since they are not part of the standard epub metadata fields. If it's not Dublin Core metadata, it will not be processed. Much as calibre's series metadata is not processed by a Kobo. Check the
Dublin Core entry in the MobileRead wiki for more information.

See the above. Visualize Steve Balmer screaming "Dublin Core! Dublin Core!"
