  • Correct – all books loaded on with Calibre. I'm afraid I couldn't find any .OPF files on my Kobo Forma at all. I tried searching both with Windows and a third part search utility and none came up. Are you sure that is the correct extension?
  • I have just done that now, and it does indeed appear that there is an issue with updating pre-existing annotations. Testing with a new book, the first fetched annotation worked correctly. But then when I tried to add a second one, they both showed up in preview OK, but on importing into Calibre, the first one has now disappeared with just the chapter title header remaining, and only the second one appears correctly.
OK. For the OPF file, I meant from the calibre library. Click the "Open path" in the details panel for the book and it will show the directory with the book in it. There should be an OPF file. Calibre uses this as part of its backup.

I'll have to retest this. It seemed to work adding the annotation, but, maybe I missed something.
