I install the plugin.
In the plugin settings "Add retrieved annotations to" I select the custom column (Annotations).
I connect the kindle and Caliber recognizes it as a device and I give the plugin in Fetch annotations form device connected device, it runs the process bar and I get a sign "Unable to find any annotations on Amazon Kindle matching books in your library"

The simplest reason for that message is also the obvious: There are no annotations to be found
But, I'm sure that is not the case.
There are reasons:
- The plugin reads the My Clippings.txt file to get the annotations. This is more a log file than a store. If you remove the file, the plugin will not find any annotations. If you make the annotations on another device/app and they sync to this device, the annotations will not be in the file.
- Calibre matches the books on the device to books in the library. The plugin partly uses this and partly does it's own thing. If that fails, you will get this error. The current released version has a problem with KFX books and will never match them to the library. The last beta fixes that and should improve the the book matching for Kindles.
- Amazon has changed something. They have made some not obvious changes to the "My Clippings.txt" file that have broken the plugin.
- There is a bug. And I am sure that there are bugs. Finding them is the problem.
If you haven't installed the beta, try it. And test by making an new annotation on the device for a book that is matching to you calibre library. That should check that it is working.
If it is still not working, I need a debug log and a copy of the "My Clippings.txt" file. Plus some details of which books are having problems.
