Question Why can't I annotate books I load via Calibre?

Hi all,

I'm coming up short in trying to self-diagnose this problem: annotations and notes for any book that I load to my device via Calibre will not save. I can highlight text and create notes (i.e. the device appears to allow me to go through the motions of creating highlights/annotations), but when I go to view the annotations from the device, there's nothing there. If I go back to a page I've created a highlight on, *most* of the time the highlight is gone, although it looks like highlights that span pages are still there (but again, they're not shown in the annotations view for the book). Any books that I load to my device via Overdrive or the Kobo store work flawlessly; it's just the books I load via Calibre that aren't working.

I'm running both the latest versions of the Kobo Forma software, Calibre, the Kobo Utilities plugin, and the Kobo Touch Extended plugin (so that I can convert my epubs to kepubs when I move them to the device).

What am I missing? I admittedly don't know much about the inner workings of Calibre, the plugins, the Kobo OS, etc.

Thanks!
